MORSE (Modeling and Observation of River-Sea Exchanges) is a project resulting from the collaboration between theMarche Polytechnic University and theUS Naval Research Laboratory . The goal of the project is to collect long-term observations and perform mathematical/numerical modeling activities to develop a morphological prediction and data assimilation system. The MORSE project aims to investigate both the short- and long-term dynamics of a highly urbanized small-scale estuarine environment and to study the interaction between fluvial and marine water and sediments, as well as to analyze the complex morphodynamics that characterize this type of environment. The study area is the mouth of the Misa River (Senigallia, AN) that can be considered representative of small-scale micro-marine estuarine environments, characterized by sediments with mixed grain size (sands, cohesive silts and clays). To achieve the proposed aims, the following instruments were installed in the Senigallia area: a USGS-type river probe for flow detection, an offshore ADCP probe for wave climate measurement, a tide probe to determine sea level, and an X-band radar for near-shore wave monitoring. The project also uses some existing instrumentation, such as the Sena Gallica Speculator (SGS) video monitoring system. Data derived from the MORSE project are shared with CNR IRBIM in Ancona, which is actively collaborating in project activities. This close collaboration enabled the placement of the ADCP probe at the foot of the Meda Station, owned by CNR IRBIM. CNR IRBIM in Ancona is also in charge of managing the offshore ADCP probe and transferring data from tidal probe.

The Life DELFI project was born out of growing concern within the international scientific community about the interactions of cetaceans with professional fishing activities. Of particular concern is the frequent finding of signs of interaction with fishing gear on dolphin carcasses found on the beach or at sea. Therefore, DELFI takes care to limit the interaction between dolphins and fishermen as much as possible.
