The platform, developed by ICATMAR, provides access to key information for sustainable fisheries management in Catalonia.

Details are included in the first proposal of carbon budgets drawn up by the Committee of Experts on Climate Change (CECC), with experts from the ICM-CSIC among other institutions.

This is the main conclusion of a study, conducted in collaboration with the ICM-CSIC, reconstructing the recent history of some marine pollutants in deep sediments of the Mediterranean and the Cantabrian Sea.

The initiative officially launched with an inaugural meeting held in El Port de la Selva that was attended by representatives of the administration, NGOs, diving centres, researchers and citizens' associations.

Aboard the Hespérides, the scientific team has carried out a 26-day campaign from the Weddell Sea to the Scotia Sea.

The work, in which ICM-CSIC researcher Erik Simon-Lledó has participated, also reveals the first signs of biological recovery in an area of the Pacific that was intensely exploited 44 years ago.
