COASTAL AND OCEANIC ECOLOGY

It aims to know and inventory the aquatic biota as a basis for establishing its rational use, management and conservation, determining its state of health, promoting the ecological balance of aquatic environments, with emphasis on the recognition of endemic and introduced species, as well as biophysical processes. determinants.

MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION

It aims to analyze fishing activity from a broad perspective, as a source of valuable bioecological information on exploited populations that inhabit coastal estuarine and lagoon bodies, to the abyssal plains and underwater mountains of the world’s oceans; and the driving forces that govern its structure and variability, in a context increasingly oriented towards the conservation of species and ecosystems, as well as the cultivation of aquatic species as an alternative.

FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE

It aims to analyze fishing activity from a broad perspective, as a source of valuable bioecological information on exploited populations that inhabit coastal estuarine and lagoon bodies, to the abyssal plains and underwater mountains of the world’s oceans; and the driving forces that govern its structure and variability, in a context increasingly oriented towards the conservation of species and ecosystems, as well as the cultivation of aquatic species as an alternative.

OCEANOGRAPHY

The ocean dynamics are studied at different scales of time and space, covering local, regional and large-scale processes, covering the study of different phenomena such as currents, tides, gyres, fronts, physical-biological interactions and climate change.
