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).The crustaceans campaigns are usually held in June/July with the ship “Noruega” and cover the extension of the Portuguese coast of Alentejo and Algarve.
The ERSTA project intended to study the seismogenic and tsunamigenic bodies and prepare an sismotectonic model for the Algarve region. For this project, in this campaign, was intend to carry out a geophysical survey that will contribute to a more detailed characterization, in the offshore region, of São Marcos-Quarteira and Carcavai faults. The SANDEX project aims to evaluate the physical impact from the extraction of sand and gravel in the coastal sediment balance and evolution of the coastline. The campaign aims to collect bathymetric data that will contribute to monitoring of the impact caused by the exploitation of sand deposits carried off the Quarteira as well as for the assessment of sediment budget of the study area.
The FREEZE 2010 geophysical cruise was planned to acquire a detailed bathymetry just off Olhos d'Agua, high resolution seismic and Side Scan Sonar data in order to investigate and define the geological and the tectonic settings off Olhos d'Agua (Algarve coast, South Portugal) and to find any possible evidence of supposed existing submarine groundwater discharges (SGDs) in this area.

This project aims to characterize the evolution of the coastline during the Quaternary and discern what were the contributions to this evolution: 1) neotectonic, 2) eustatic variations and 3) sedimentary transport; for this purpose was selected as study area the coastal stretch between Cabo da Roca (~ 38 46'N) and the village of Comporta (~ 38 20'N).

Three-hourly forecast maps of accumulated precipitation in mm/3h for the Iberian Peninsula, generated with the AROME model. The maps are generated twice a day, at 00UTC and 12UTC, with forecasts of the following 48 hours.
Three-hourly forecast maps of cloud cover in percentage at three levels (low, medium and high) and total cloud cover for the Iberian Peninsula, generated with the AROME model. The maps are generated twice a day, at 00UTC and 12UTC, with forecasts of the following 48 hours.
Marine biotoxins monitoring of bivalve molluscs in classified production areas in mainland Portugal, since 2014, at intervals defined in the respective sampling plan, through the detection and quantification of the various groups of marine biotoxins laid down in Regulation (EC) 853 / 2004 in live bivalve tissues. These analyzes are part of the national monitoring of bivalve molluscs production areas and are considered in the official control system for decision-making concerning health rules applicable to bivalve in the various production areas. The data is collected according to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 and the rules set out in Decree No. 1421/2006 of the Ministries of Economy and Innovation and Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries of 21 December 2006.
