Technology
Technological studies in ISMAR are carried out in different field:
- the fishery, with the aim to enhance the performance and efficiency of fishing equipments, in order to reduce the quantity of protected species in the bycatch and develop fuel-saving fishing practices
- the study of the behaviour of innovative metallic materials in the marine environment and the develop new pre-treatments and coatings, designed to protect materials from corrosion and biofouling deterioration, simultaneously minimizing environmental pollution
- the develop of tools for innovative sea-floor sampling to the study the water-sediment interface and retrieve long and undisturbed sedimentary sections for the study of past environmental change.
