MARE Research Center of Évora integrates study of the sea in Portugal!
On land and at sea they are studied in Portugal by research resources, from navies to study centers in sustainable aquaculture studies, changes and applications with sustainable applications.
For a roadmap of Portuguese scientific institutions connected to the sea – on the subject of the UN, which takes place from June 27 to July 01, in Lisbon – Lusa based itself on information contained in the Conference of Research Units 2022, edited by Foundation for Science and Technology, and on the institutions’ official websites.
The Guia Maritime Laboratory, in the municipality of Cascais, is today a pole of Mare – Center for Marine and Environmental Sciences and the oldest research center on this route.
It is located in the Forte de Nossa Senhora da Guia, a 17th century military fort built on a cliff of Cascais that, after being deactivated at the end of the 19th century, was transferred in 1941 to the University of Lisbon, which reactivated the laboratory as a research and in 1975 and today it maintains it as the Mare pole, a research center that brings together seven units – in Lisbon, Coimbra, Évora, Leiria and Madeira – which brings together around 200 researchers.
Its aim is to promote “ocean literacy” and the “healthy state” of oceans, mares, estuaries, rivers and basins, as well as to develop “continuous scientific knowledge and technology to help provide and other biotic and non-society resources” and ” scientific tools and technological uses for the sustainability of water, estuaries and marine ecosystems”.
Created in 2015, Okeanos is a research center linked to the University of the Azores where 31 scientists work.
His focus of study has been the Atlantic Ocean, including deep-water marine ecosystems such as hydrothermal vents and seamounts, and vulnerable fauna such as sharks, turtles, dolphins, whales and seabirds.
The centre, located in the city of Horta, on the island of Faial, benefits from facilities from the University of the Azores and Imar – Instituto do Mar.
Founded in 1991, the Instituto do Mar, which has as associated members the universities of the Azores, Lisbon, Évora, Coimbra and Porto, has a protocol to “contribute to the production of knowledge, transmission and scientific dissemination about the oceans”, available from several Vessels and scientific research equipment.
In Matosinhos is the Ciimar – Interdisciplinary Center for Marine and Environmental Research, which includes 179 scientists. Its line of research on sustainable aquaculture and food safety, conservation of marine resources and new products includes applications in bioremediation, cosmetics, medicines, food, paints and coatings.
Cesam – Center for Environmental and Sea Studies, in Aveiro, has 2 researchers studied and has the impact14 of plastic extremists, meteorological phenomena and climate change.
State laboratory with Lisbon, the Hydrographic Institute is part of the Navy and its origin dates back to 1960. It has a series of vessels and equipment for collecting hydrographic, oceanographic and geological data.
The State Laboratory, the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and the Atmosphere, which forecasts the state of the weather at sea and for the investigation and monitoring of seismic activity, also has areas dedicated exclusively to marine geology and fisheries.
The Universidade de Ciências do Alentejano, which has a special crust on the Ciema de Águia de Águia in the coastal region of Alentejo, studying the depth of fish, algae, algae, molluscs.
In the Algarve there are two research units: the CCmar – Center for Marine Sciences, where 120 scientists work and the CIMA – Center for Marine and Environmental Research, which has 47 researchers. Both are associated with the University of Algarve.
The study the effects of research, the search for the new climate region on invasive species and the alteration of ‘habitat’ on biodiversity.
The CIMA – Center for Marine and Environmental Research was founded in 1998 and has in its strategy of developing technologies for the sustainable exploitation of waste.
