The section "Access to marine ecosystems and environmental analysis" consists of the Units IRM, IMOM, MAA and ITR, in a multidisciplinarity context created by the interaction between the different units. Thanks to the contribution of the research and infrastructure projects PON PRIMA, PON InSEA, PON PLaCE, and others forthcoming, the Section will be equipped with high technological value instrumentation and multidisciplinary fixed observatories both coastal and deep that are fully part of the European and international context for ecosystem monitoring services, for the preservation of the state of environmental quality, needed for preserving and regenerate natural capital (see e.g. EMSOERIC, EMBRC-ERIC, CLUSTER-BIG). This is in consideration of the fact that marine resources will be in the near future the object of greater use by human activities. The expansion of marine research must interact strongly with the many economic activities that take place at sea and eco-sustainable exploitation of its natural resources. In this scenario the role of the Stazione Zoologica and in particular of the Section for Access to Marine Ecosystems and Environmental Analysis of the RIMAR Department, is preeminent and it will therefore be necessary to focus on technological development thanks to the strong interaction of the connection between Core facilities and Infrastructure for research at sea (IRM), Implementation, Technology & Robotics (ITR) and Environmental Monitoring and Analysis (MAA).

The Benthos and Nekton Ecology Functional Area is equipped with instruments useful for different types of analyses (biological, molecular, chemical and biochemical) and for the maintenance, in vivo, of animals, plant and algae.

The Benthos and Nekton Ecology FA is located in:

• Ischia (MEDAS Centre)
• Naples (Villa Comunale)

At the moment, the Area of Naples is located in two rooms, waiting for the end of the renovation works of west wing:

• First floor room #346
• Ground floor room #16

The Plankton Ecology Area is located at Naples centre. The Area allows users to analyze and study phytoplankton and zooplankton, from receiving sea samples, to isolating and culturing the species of interest, to allow their physiological study, population and genetics.

The area is temporarily distributed, pending the completion of the renovation works of the west wing, in 7 rooms and 2 common areas distributed on 4 of the 5 floors of the East wing, as listed below according to the activities carried out:

Wet Lab - Ground floor room #T35
Maintenance of phytoplankton and zooplankton cultures: First floor room #148 and third floor WALK IN cell #365ter
Live zooplankton manipulations - First floor room #138
Live phytoplankton manipulations – First floor rooms #138 and #148 and Third floor room #364
Fixed Phyto- and ZooPlankton manipulations - Third floor rooms #325 and #326
GROWTH CHAMBERS for EXPERIMENTS: floor -1 (along the wall in front of the stairs) and third floor (hall #365)
