We participate in numerous projects with internationally recognized scientific institutions, facilitating our technology for localization, research, etc. In addition, in 2020 we started the Marine Ecolife project that consists of the implementation of a series of actions and internal and external measures as well as the support of initiatives and projects for the reduction of plastic in the oceans. We are aware that the prosperity of the company is directly related to the prosperity of the sector and the environment where it operates. For this reason, we are committed to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and have aligned our strategy with it. The application of the most advanced technology in our new products such as Tunadrone, MarineView or MarineObserve aim to help our customers to fish more efficiently and sustainable. We collaborate in the following projects with renowned organisations such as NOAA, the Australian government, The Nature Conservancy, Friend of the Sea or Horizon2020 aimed at achieving sustainable and clean oceans. RADAR ON RAIA PROJECT SUSTUNTECH FADS REMOVAL THE OCEAN CLEANUP PLASTIC WASTE WHALE CARCASSES NECROPSY SMART DRUMLINES SOLAR REGATTA MARINE ECOLIFE MARINE INSTRUMENTS RADAR ON RAIA PROJECT EUROPEAN PROJECT TO REDUCE MARINE LITTER The Radar on Raia project is using our buoys to validate the surface currents field measured by the High Frequency Radars installed along the Galician coast and northern Portugal. For three days, they will simulate a spill and will use our GPS buoys to study the drifting of the spill due to wind and currents. Regarding its location, they are developing hydrodynamic models of transport of litter in the sea to predict areas of accumulation as well as assessing the importance of land and maritime litter sources and its formation. With this information, they propose different future scenarios for reducing marine litter. visit webpage RELATED PRODUCTS MSi MARINE INSTRUMENTS SUSTUNTECH EUROPEAN PROJECT FOCUSED ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE TUNA FLEET Marine Instruments leads this project in collaboration with other companies and renowned research centers: AZTI, New Castle University, MARIDIS, ZEPHIR, SINEF, Universidad del País Vasco y Echebastar. The project aims to combine industrial knowledge and technological experience to develop innovative solutions that improve the sustainability of the tuna sector. The objective of the project is to reduce the carbon footprint by 20% by implementing different technologies on board. The project started in February 2020 and will last for approximately 3 years. visit webpage RELATED PRODUCTS New MarineView MARINE INSTRUMENTS FADS REMOVAL FAD REMOVAL FROM THE OCEANS Marine Instruments collaborates in this project of FAD removal with other companies in the sector, The Pacific Community (SPC) and The Nature Conservancy to reduce its environmental impact. Marine Instruments will facilitate the historical positions of the buoys to identify critical points and prevent FADs from beaching. The recycling possibilities of these FADs in nearby ports will also be analyzed. RELATED PRODUCTS MSi THE OCEAN CLEANUP REMOVAL OF PLASTIC WASTE IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN Marine Instruments has collaborated on The Ocean Cleanup project since 2018. The project aims to collect plastic waste from the oceans. In order to achieve this objective, Ocean Cleanup has developed a waste collection system based on floating barriers of between one and two kilometers that, taking advantage of the marine currents, moves and remove surface plastics around them. Marine Instruments buoys are an active part of the program as they locate these floating barriers to track them. In addition, the buoy also provides information on the total mass of the plastic waste. visit webpage M3i+ © 2021 Marine Instruments S.A. Legal Advice / Privacy Policy / Sitemap / Cookies Policy
