5 A long-awaited event took place in 2014 on December 20th the agreement for the relocation of IIM to the Selom building at Calata Gadda, in the Old Harbour of Genoa, was nally signed. The Selom building is sizable and, once properly renovated, it will allow for the IIM to expand and develop both as a cartographic service and as a research centre. The Fortress of San Giorgio was deemed insufcient already in the late 19th century and in the last 100 years or so many possible new locations were suggested. Just to name a few, the Fortress of San Martino in the 50s, an area in Vignolo, between Genova Pegli and Prà, in the 70s, another one in Genova Pegli in the 80s, the Cotton Warehouses in the Old Harbour in the 90s. From 2008 onwards, the search for the new headquarters became more focused as the Fortress of San Giorgio was proving more and more inadequate for the new production processes. In 2014 the agreement for the new location was nally signed and the reconstruction works should be starting soon. On December 20th, an agreement for the cooperation of Regione Liguria and the Italian Navy was signed as well, in order to promote partnerships among national and international research centres and organizations for the protection of the environment and the safety of the sea. The object is to exploit the Defense professional staff and infrastructures in times of peace as the Navy Chief of Staff, Admiral Giuseppe De Giorgi, stated in his speech. Everything must be dual use. 5
6 The agreement signed by Regione Liguria and the Italian Navy involves the IIM in many activities, among which: forecasting ood and climate variations and managing the relevant impact, hydrographic projects for Liguria, ARPAL and University, water surveying and sampling and relevant assessment and specic projects to allow young people to enter the labour market and to improve marine culture and education. The agreements were signed at the IIM headquarters in the Fortress of San Giorgio. The Minister of the Defense Roberta Pinotti, the Navy Chief of Staff Admiral Giuseppe De Giorgi, the president of the Port Authority Luigi Merlo, the Liguria Maritime Authority Director and Commanding Ofcer of the Port of Genoa Admiral Vincenzo Melone, the director of the State Property Ofce Roberto Reggi, the Deputy Mayor of the City of Genoa Stefano Bernini, and the president of Regione Liguria Claudio Burlando were present. 6
7 THE ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA The Istituto Idrograco, within the Italian Navy, is the Italian Hydrographic Ofce, in charge of all the ofcial nautical documents published in Italy. IIM s mission is to support and contribute to the safety of navigation and to the national defence, as well as to promote the study of all sea-related matters and the protection of the marine environment. In order to accomplish its mission, the Istituto Idrograco della Marina carries out the following activities: hydro-oceanographic research and survey; production, publication and updating of ofcial nautical documentation; training, for military and civilian personnel. In 2014, the whole production cycle of nautical publications, from the processing of the data collected by the survey vessels to the building and updating of paper charts and ENCs, was carried out by 240 IIM employees, both military and civilian. Hydro-oceanographic surveys are organized in accordance with the National Charting Plan and with the guidelines from the Italian Navy Chief of Staff, based on specic requirements by the Department of the Defence and on the nautical documentation required. Regular surveys of the Italian coasts and seas are performed over 550,000 square kilometres of sea waters and more than 7,800 kilometres of coastline using Italian Navy vessels and IIM teams. After a preliminary processing on board the survey vessels, the collected data are validated at the IIM headquarters, where they are downloaded into specic databases and used to compile and update nautical documents. These currently consist of three chart portfolios (paper, digital and kits) and a number of publications, including Sailing Directions, List of Lights and Signals, Tide Tables, and Radio Signals. Updates are regularly communicated through Notices to Mariners, issued fortnightly. NtMs can also be downloaded free of charge from the IIM page in 7

9 1. RESEARCH AND SURVEYS In 2014 IIM research and survey activities were carried out by IIM staff, with IIM equipment, on board Italian Navy vessels. A team of hydrographers on board the Italica took part in the 29th expedition within the Antarctica Research National Program. IIM s contribution to the Research Program consists mainly of bathymetry data collecting, geodetic and topographic surveying of the areas involved by the research and of the denition of the coastline near the Italian base of Terra Nova Bay, on the Ross Sea. Lieutenant Fabio Marziani from the Aretusa and Lieutenant Ottavio Patulli from the Magnaghi sailed from Lyttleton (New Zeland) to the Mario Zucchelli Italian base and collected 80% of the data required to build International Nautical Chart No. 885 (INT 9000). 9

13 1.2 THE MAGNAGHI Maintenance works forced the Magnaghi in the port of La Spezia for a long time. The only survey carried out in 2014 by the vessel s hydrographers, therefore, was in the port of Trieste and, more specically in the basin of S. Giusto, where aircraft carrier Cavour and the new multipurpose antisubmarine frigate Virginio Fasan where accommodated when the frigate was given her combat ag by the Comune di Trieste. Even without their ship, the Magnaghi hydrographers kept themselves busy, however. The data collected during research on deep water corals in eastern Ligurian Sea were validated, published in journals and presented at conventions. In May 2014, Lieutenant Marta Pratellesi, from the Magnaghi, and Prof Roberta Ivaldi, from the IIM, spoke to the general assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU 2014, Vienna April 27 May 2), presenting Seaoor morphology: nature of the seabed and the cold water corals of the Levante Canyon - eastern Ligurian Sea, NW Mediterranean, a research project by Nave Ammiraglio Magnaghi, Istituto Idrograco della Marina and Centro Ricerche Ambiente Marino di Santa Teresa (ENEA). The equipment on board the Magnaghi was used to investigate the area - multibeam Elac Seabeam 1050 and Side Scan Sonar Klein The data collected were processed by the staff on board the vessel and by IIM and ENEA scientists. An updated mapping of white corals in the area was thus obtained, 60 years after the rst mapping carried out by admiral Vincenzo Fusco from the Calypso. Said mapping, carried out in the late 60s, focused on cold water corals, shing areas, wrecks and other obstacles on the seabed from the Gulf of Genoa to the estuary of river Arno. Cold water corals are particularly interesting because they account for a peculiar habitat, with a biological diversity three times bigger than in the surrounding areas. The ROV recorded numerous species of Decapods, sh and Echinoderms. Being so rich in biodiversity, cold water corals have become more and more important in the political agendas of many national and international organizations - the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992), for instance, forms the cornerstone of Europe s nature conservation policy. 13
14 The purpose of the operation in the area depicted in Figure 1 was to collect the data necessary to update nautical documentation on the one hand and to carry out scientific research on the seabed nature and specifically on deep coral banks on the other hand. Italian Navy ships are equipped with state of the art equipment and designed to be dual use in terms of enhanced logistic autonomy, support and service flexibility. Furthermore, Italian Navy personnel are highly trained and the Navy s expertise can be made available for civilian purposes. The Italian Navy shares its resources with many Italian research institutes and universities, which carry out joint survey activities while performing their institutional tasks, with no additional costs. Through data integration and the use of seabed-mapping technologies it is possible to obtain a high-resolution (HR) study of seabed morphology and nature, showing 26 OCTOBER 2014 Hydro INTERNATIONAL ecological features and habitats at different spatial scales. The methods used for this hydrographic research are based upon data integration and multiple focusing approaches to identify areas to be investigated with different resolution systems in order to perform data exploitation and multiple usages of available resources. This particular approach and the scientific results obtained prove the power of dual use purposes to make HR maps that can be used by different stakeholders with different aims but only one standard. The Levante Canyon was investigated in autumn 2013 using the high-resolution multibeam echo sounder (MBES) SeaBeam 1050 and side-scan sonar (SSS) Klein3000. The MBES (50kHz) survey was conducted in a 183 km 2 area covering the main part of the Acquisition use QPS QINSy to collect once and use many times Validation use QPS Fledermaus for true space and time 4d environment canyon system (from 150m to 800m depth). Through digital processing techniques, seabed morphology maps, based on shaded-relief bathymetries, were obtained. Echo-strength data (reflectance) can be extracted and presented as seabed backscatter maps that display not only information on sediment types, but also seabed morphodynamics and habitat. MBES data show that the Levante Canyon is a peculiar meandering submarine valley, extending SE-NW (coast direction), strongly structurally controlled, characterised by a main valley with channels and drainage structures that determine fine sediments deposition (low energy hydrodynamic processes). These geometries are typical of a valley with a complex origin, referring to different tectonics and hydrodynamics processes clearly shown by slope maps (Figure 2). In fact, from a combination of shaded-relief bathymetries, slope analysis and backscatter maps, the seabed can be interpreted in terms of both relict and recent processes (erosive-depositional). Swath systems (such as SSS) are most likely to provide the best HR maps made of pictures, particularly over wide areas, such as the Levante Canyon (Figure 3). They provide information on sediment texture and bedform It is clear that the different levels of HR spatial structure and allow for dynamic processes analysis is only limited by the instruments (e.g. sediment transport) to be deduced. and choice of approach made during the For broad-scale mapping of aggregate habitat advancement of the survey. However, the (>1 km 2 ), SSS and MBES are considered to system selection will depend on survey be the most cost-effective means of identifying objectives and scale of the area to be mapped. different sediment types and dynamic For baseline broad-scale mapping of the processes. For small-scale habitat classification continental shelf, where geological features, (<1km 2 ), high-resolution SSS, associated such as sand valley, channels, gullies, with ROV underwater cameras, allows for the sediment waves and reefs are of interest, ground-truthing of the surveyed area. the quantitative data offered by MBES in conjunction with object detection in the order of tens of metres (at 200m depth) is often the preferred choice. However, for inshore areas and depths <50m, where identification of small (<10m) habitat features may be required, a combination of MBES and SSS ensures that both quantitative bathymetric data (0.3m - 1m resolution) and qualitative, high-resolution habitat relief data (10cm resolution) are obtained. In conclusion, Morphodynamics can be shown to integrate morphology (bathymetry) and SSS backscatter maps. Slope is the most variable element and through its analysis, at a regional scale, it is possible to display high/medium sedimentation rate in low gradient sectors (bottom channel). Moreover, on a local scale, it shows hard bottom covered by fine deposits with benthonic features/deep corals. Sharing the power of geospatial information systems Seamless workflow - Acquisition - Validation - Sharing A multiple scale methodology approach was chosen in accordance with instruments and software available on board the Italian Navy ship. MBES data acquired were processed by CARIS HIPS&SIPS software and compared with the IIM database. At first, a seabed map of the area with high detail of the seafloor shapes was obtained, and used for other similar sectors of the canyon catchment area. The canyon is characterised by a gully network with a diverging pattern. On a metric scale (medium scale), acoustic backscatter analysis enables the accurate description of the drainage canyon system (with variable slope up to 30% in the channel sectors) and its geomorphic variability in relation with seabed nature. HR maps enable the identification of sites of interest for substrate dislocation and benthic features. These were investigated at a larger scale (sub-metric) by SSS Klein 3000, kHz (Figure 3). SSS operation was planned in accordance with seafloor canyon morphology and optimising recording data operations on board. In fact, SSS lines were recorded in a selected area from 510 to 370m depth (Figure 4), where the seafloor morphology showed variable and interesting features characterised by different size, shape and slope. Operating with MBES and SSS integrated data, morpho-bathymetric analysis and acoustic characterisation of the sub-bottom made it possible to calibrate a large area by ground-truthing. Figure 5 shows the section, chosen for its morphology, and used for higher resolution analysis with SSS. The presence of round structures (mound) of multi-metric dimensions inside the drainage system must be remarked. The highest values of slope (17%) can be found in the steep canyon heads and flanks. Slope values up to 10% can be seen depicting seabed mounds on the northernmost and central interchannel system. MBES and SSS data show higher acoustic backscatter in the deepest sections of the canyon than in the channels and the changes in the seabed nature on the mounds are highlighted as areas of variable intensity characterised by high level of reflectance typical of substrate. Besides that, SSS images show a flat heterogeneous seabed with signs of trawler fishing (Figure 5). In conclusion, the direct sampling bottom data collected on the mounds displayed the presence of biological communities, mainly typical of a deep muddy bottom and small cold water coral colonies, possibly identified as Madrepora oculata. The hard bottom, probably made of buried coral banks, is also present. The sharing of knowledge and instruments is the basis of this integrated work focused on the study of seafloor features with particular Hydro INTERNATIONAL OCTOBER Annual Report 2014 Lieutenant Pratellesi also published Integrated mapping of seabed features Dual use hydrographic surveys for seabed nature and morphological research in Hydro International. The paper explains the research project and relevant results with particular reference to dual-use potential. In 2014 the Magnaghi team took part in an international competition promoted by Caris, for the selection of the best twelve seabed images to illustrate a calendar. Two sonar images relevant to the Bari area and the gulf of Pozzuoli, processed through Caris software, were submitted by the Magnaghi team. Both images were accepted and one was the most voted in the competition.

We are working with those engaged globally in maritime projects to have seamless systems that meet needs for integrated tools to improve effectiveness in data management and produc- tion. The modern maritime geomatic business process starts with data collection and input, through validation and visualisation, to producing and sharing data deliverables. Fundamental to this workflow is the use of common data files and the avoidance of intermediate exchange data files. environment because they allow for the widescale geology and present-day (Holocene) sedimentary processes to be determined and understood. Furthermore, the integration of different maps, resulting from the use of different equipment and data processing methods, enabled the research to focus on the best possible area. Operating with SeaBeam 1050 and Klein 3000, seabed morphological characterisation, sediment type discrimination and processes dynamic description, on a wide scale (>1km 2 ) were carried out. Besides that, small-scale habitat classification (<1km 2 up to a centimetre) was achieved thanks to SSS images analysis integrated with direct sampling methods such as grab sampler or underwater camera. During the real-time survey processing, the establishment of a confidence level to each feature of interest, at the different scales, technologies are to be used for habitatmapping purposes. In fact, the ground truth confirmed the area s ecological interest. Thanks to Italian Navy resources, the survey provided not only a detailed mapping of the variable morphology of the proximal area of the Levante Canyon at different scales, but it also investigated the seabed nature and the biological communities in the canyon system for the assessment of a potential Site of Community Importance under the European Commission Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC).

23 1.6 RESEARCH AND COOPERATION PROJECTS The Italian Navy is investing more and more in oceanographic research. Many cooperation projects between the Istituto Idrograco and a number of research centres and universities have been signed in the last few years. In 2014, two of them were particularly publicized by the media: The Tomo-Etna experimental campaign, within European Project MED-SUV, in collaboration with the Istituto Nazionale di Geosica e Vulcanologia (INGV). Over 60 researchers from all over Europe, as well as INGV scientists from La Spezia and Catania, on board the Galatea and the Sarmiento De Gamboa, a Spanish research vessel, carried out integrated activities in the gulf of Catania and southern Tyrrhenian Sea to study the subvolcanic and tectonic structure of the crust underlying mount Etna and the surrounding areas, both inland and at sea. Active seismic techniques waves generated with compressed air - and passive seismic techniques natural seismic event recording were employed. The scientists on board the Galatea collected bathymetric, magnetometric and stratigraphic data, as well as hydrologic data to determine the chemical and physical properties of water, while the scientists on board the Sarmiento De Gamboa laid on the seaoor a network of 25 seismic stations to record articial and natural seismic events. The data collected will be shared by the organizations which have taken part in the project and will be used to obtain an accurate tomography of the area, to acquire a better understanding of magma upow, and to investigate sliding mechanisms on the eastern side of the volcano, as well as to study the various faults. 23
24 The MREA14 (Maritime Rapid Environmental Assessment), a campaign in the Gulf of Taranto, promoted by the IIM and carried out from the Galatea in cooperation with the University of Bologna, the INGV, the CNR through the Institute of Marine Science ISMAR and the Institute for Coastal Marine Environment IAMC, the Climate Change Euro-Mediterranean Centre CMCC and the Polytechnic of Bari. The idea is to carry out a number of campaigns at different times of the year to acquire environmental data for rapid decision-making at sea as well as to check and correct oceanographic forecast models (i.e. operational oceanography). An assessment of the quality of oceanographic forecast models small and large scale is crucial, as most oceanographic products used in the Mediterranean sea are based on them. The 2014 campaign was developed in three steps water column sampling and analyzing was repeated at various points and at various times, so as to account for different possible weather conditions throughout the area. The results were sent real-time to all the research institutions involved, in order to obtain a high resolution numerical model exchange and processing network and to allow for a quick comparison between forecast and observed data. It was thus possible to adjust the numerical models for the forecast of currents (both deep and supercial) in the gulf of Taranto. According to prof Pinardi, of the University of Bologna (who is one of the most important experts in the eld of oceanography), the synoptic dataset thus obtained is the best dataset ever developed outside the US. 24
25 The institutions listed above are all part of the GNOO, Gruppo Nazionale di Oceanograa Operativa, which is currently under renovation. The IIM is part of the working group in charge of dening the organization and tasks of the new structure. A study on the dynamics of the Arctic icecap was carried out by the IIM Geophysics Department in cooperation with the IIM professors, to analyze the shifting of the icecap and relevant modications and nd new navigation routes. 25
26 Numeric modelling research is crucial for water circulation simulation, toxic spill spreading and marine forecast, and the IIM oceanographic team has been working hard at it. In particular, a highdenition wave SWAN model for the Gulf of Aden area (see gure) was developed. ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA ISTITUTO IDROGRAFICO DELLA MARINA Wave heigh, 10 - metre wind.

27 2. PRODUCTION 2.1 CHARTS During 2014, the IIM continued to work towards a standardization of all production processes through the creation of a single cartographic database for all IIM products, in order to improve data management efciency. By adopting a databaseoriented approach production can be streamlined, avoiding duplication of efforts and reducing waste. The complex system which is being implemented, consisting of different software applications, will allow for the creation, the management and the updating of a Hydrographic Production Database in line with the international standards. The system consists of a server hosting the database and a number of clients working as a network and handling information in such a way that any changes and amendments are immediately available to all the users. In this way, all nautical documents will be based on a single database, and all data will be digitally coded according to international standards. PAPER CHARTS The Paper Chart Section issues and updates paper charts. Presently, the IIM paper chart portfolio amounts to about 300 charts, covering all waters within IIM competence. Scales range from 1:5.000 (main ports) to 1: and beyond (general planning).
