MarinaDorica 23-25

Environmental monitoring of the "Marina Dorica" tourist port in Ancona.

Back to index

Since 2011, the FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) has awarded “Blue Flags” as certification for environmental quality and recognition of the sustainable management of the Marina Dorica tourist port of Ancona, a port which is also recognized by RINA as respectful to environmental protection according to the UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 standard.
To maintain this status, the CNR-IRBIM was tasked with implementing a monitoring plan aimed at verifying the environmental quality in the tourist port area and identifying possible anthropic impacts. To this end, monitoring is carried out annually both in the period before and in the period immediately following the tourist season, during which the port’s activities are more intense.

The project sees the participation of the Polytechnic University of Marche – Department of Life and Environmental Sciences (UniPM – DiSVA).

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.
