Aim of the Project:

The iFADO project aims to create marine services at regional and subregional scale using the EU Atlantic Waters as case study. By filling current technical gaps, iFADO would use the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) implementation to demonstrate the application of innovative products. The project will combine traditional monitoring with cost-affective, state-of-the-art technologies: remote sensing, numerical modeling and emerging observation platforms such us gliders and oceanic buoys.

FRCT Involvement:
In this project, FRCT is the WP2 leader (Communication) and will have an active participation in the WP4 (Monitoring in-situ for MFSD), WP6 (Remote Sensing) e WP7 (Numerical Modelling).
