FLAG PROJECTS

RAIA

Oceanic Observatory of the Iberian Margin

Development of an ocean observatory made up of a cross-frontier

infrastructure of ocean observation and by an extensive network of

operational oceanography based on the monitoring and prediction

of the ocean environment through the use of numerical models

and the construction and development of new oceanographic-

meteorological platforms.

Fine-tuning or development of:

• biosensors for in-field rapid and selective

detection

• treatment processes (electrochemical and

biological technologies)

• ecotoxicological tools to evaluate toxicity removal and do routine biomonitoring

• environmental/economic assessment

• scaling-up of best technology
