Fisheries and aquaculture
We carry out pre-operational and environmental monitoring studies for fishing projects and aquaculture cages, for determination of environmental impact on different biological communities (fish stocks, infauna, seagrasses, etc.).
Equipment for rent
You may rent many of our measuring equipment,as well as subcontract our technical staff. Our boat, RORCUAL, is also available for our customers.
Cartography and communities characterization
CIMA owns underwater recording equipment for monitoring and surface communication systems by means of which clients can directly observe real-time filming, as well as communicate with divers.
Environmental management and analysis
We provide assistance in maritime-coastal resources management to meet, promote and update the establishment of a legal framework that integrates the sustainable development of resources.
Systematics and biological laboratory
CIMA´s technical means allows identification of biological samples of marine environment (individuals, tissues, etc.)that allows their use as indicators of the marina coastal environmental quality.
Chemical analysis laboratory
In our premises, we have an INDROPS, laboratory with the necessary equipment and instruments required for the determination of marine environmental parameters.
Oceanography
Within the oceanographic fieldwe carry out studies ofmarine hydrodynamics andcurrents, dispersion spills models and studies of the distribution of pollutants in the marine realm.
Marine ecology
CIMA carries out seabed characterizations (faunal and vegetal analysis, and environmental parameters) that can be used as community descriptors in spatio-temporal and for developing suitable tools for sustainable managementand conservation.
Impact studies and environmental monitoring plans
We coordinate and carry out environmental projects and studies for industries, construction companies and public administrations
Training/Education and Outreach
We organize and coordinate scientific conferences and congresses.
