Measuring essential physical, chemical and biological variables related to the ocean, climate and ecosystems is of vital importance for marine industries, decision-making bodies and scientific research in order to ensure the sustainable use of the oceans.
Monitoring seas and oceans requires a combination of observation technologies, including remote sensing and real-time observation, acoustic and electromagnetic sensors, environmental “e-DNA” techniques, autonomous platforms, etc.
The IIM-CSIC has a wide expertise in using and developing new ocean observation technologies, including the adaptation of devices to monitor specific processes and their interactions with coastal human infrastructures (i.e. mussel rafts, ports, etc.)
