Location of the sampling stations considered in the analyzes from IPMA's Microbiology Laboratory included in the National Bivalve Molluscs Monitoring System.
Map of the annual minimum air temperature, mean values in the period 1971-2000, obtained by multivariate regression with altitude and distance to the coast, explanatory variables, and ordinary kriging of residues.
Map of the monthly total precipitation, during the period 1971-2000, obtained by multivariate regression with altitude and distance to the coast, explanatory variables, and ordinary kriging of residues.

Within Portugal's National Biological Sampling Project (PNAB) a set of activities are conducted in the collection, management and use of biological data, collected from the registered commercial fleet in mainland Portugal (fisheries-dependent data) and several research surveys (independent fisheries data). These activities allow the assessment of the state of fishery resources, population structure, distribution and abundance of resources, diversity and dynamics of biological communities associated with the fishery resources and biological studies (growth, reproduction).This resource shows the geographic distribution of Norway lobster abundancy index (nr. individuals/hour) registered during the CRUSTACEOS2009 campaign in June 2009.
Nosologic map of the European Flat Oyster in mainland Portugal. The health screening of the species population aims the identification and characterization of diseases affecting the European Flat Oyster and their characterization both as to its epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and intensity of the disease), as to their impact on production. This information is intended to characterize the different production areas of the species from the health point of view.

This product was developed by LNEG with a view to the future identification of “Renewable Acceleration Areas” for the deployment of renewable electricity production plants in Mainland Portugal. The work took place within the scope of an informal Working Group, coordinated by LNEG and involving: the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), the General Directorate of Energy and Geology (DGEG), the General Directorate of Territory (DGT), the Institute of Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF) and the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage (DGPC). The map identifies the areas in m2 of mainland Portugal with the least sensitivity (environmental, cultural heritage and other) which as such may be considered in the definition of future renewable "Acceleration Areas" within the framework of the revised RED Directive (Renewable Energy Directive. As these areas are not covered by exclusion conditions regarding the preservation of environmental and heritage values (among other), a simplified permitting process for renewable power production plants (solar photovoltaic and wind) could be established, thus allowing to accelerate its implementation without compromising other environmental and territorial values. The mapped areas are preferred areas from the point of view of simplifying the permitting process, but they are not exclusive. In other words, renewable power plants can be implemented in other locations following the normal permitting process. It should be noted that the presented results reflect the situation as of June 2023, and much of the information used is dynamic in nature, meaning this product must be periodically updated. This document is complemented with several electronic Geographic Information System (GIS) files containing the supporting data produced/compiled and collected. Last but not least, this first mapping focuses exclusively on non-artificialized areas. Although the implementation of renewables in a distributed manner in a built/artificialized environment is essential for the country, the analysis of this scope is carried out in another work.
IPMA conducts regularly, since 1996, monitoring campaigns of bivalve molluscs banks that occur in the oceanic coast of the South West zone, in order to assess their condition. These campaigns allow the adjustment of the fishing effort and fishing quotas to the state of resources in order to not compromise its sustainability.This resource shows the geographic distribution of white clam biomass index (g/5 minutes per drag) recorded during the bivalve banks monitoring campaign held in June 2014.
Map of the seasonal maximum air temperature, mean values of the period 1971-2000, obtained by multivariate regression with altitude and distance to the coast, explanatory variables, and ordinary kriging of residues.
