Marine Environment
Scientific research focusing on the environment.
Area dedicated to carrying out scientific research and environmental monitoring in coastal marine environments. Our team carries out environmental assessment; develops studies and monitors bays, river deltas (estuarine environments), beaches, restingas, rocky shores (coastal environments) and is capable of developing a low-cost submersible prototype (R.O.V.) to support ecological projects.
