Rilievi idrografici

Description

The IRM unit deals with the collection of material to be used for both research and outreach activities. The material collection is carried out in different coastal environments, including port areas and lagoons, using adequate gathering instruments or by scuba diving.

The described activities are carried out on the basis of extensive experience and knowledge of plant or animal species required, of their habitats and distribution (on a local scale) and of their reproductive cycle, which is updated through information gathering and exploratory surveys. Sampling sites and collection methods are selected so as to ensure high quality standard of products.

Scuba diving activities (related to the installation and maintenance of submerged structures and equipment) are carried out.

In addition, the IRM Unit provides support to activities aimed at the recovery, transportation and release of marine animals.
