Convenzione su movimentazione e gestione dei sedimenti

Agreement for monitoring the immersion operations of sediments from seabed excavation

To verify environmental impacts on the marine environment caused by sediment delivery operations from dredging works in the Port of Numana (Ancona). For the sediment submergence, CNR IRBIM has prepared and carried out a thorough monitoring plan including an ante-operam and a post-operam phase of the delivery works in the selected area at sea.
For each phase, the plan includes:
– geomorphological surveys of the seafloor using MultiBeam Echosounder, Side Scan Sonar and Sub Bottom Profiler
– physical, chemical and ecotoxicological analyses of sediments
– bioaccumulation and biomarkers in marine organisms
– benthic community analysis
– fish stocks analysis.

Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
