ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Flagship Research Project
Creating science for the protection of the marine environment
PCM is the set of projects accomplished by IHCantabria within the framework of the R&D&I Complementary Plan in Marine Sciences, funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Regions of Andalusia, Balearics, Canaries, Cantabria, Valencian Community, Galicia and Murcia.
Challenge
The coast of Spain runs along nearly 8,000 kilometers. Its biodiversity is one of the most significant elements of wildlife wealth in Europe and its safety impacts on the country’s economy. Therefore, it is a matter of urgency to protect the marine ecosystems in a scenario of climate change and ocean pollution.
Solution
Improving our knowledge through observation and monitoring of the marine and coastal environments and generating opportunities for a sustainable Blue Economy through projects in line with Agenda 2030 and the Ocean Decade.
Results
The research projects of the PCM contribute products and services that are at the frontier of science such as numerical models that take advantage of the contribution of artificial intelligence to fight against marine contamination and to analyze better the evolution of the coast; a digital twin that allows to understand the impact of climate change on beaches, a digital twin of offshore wind turbines and databases that will be highly useful to society and private companies.
