Rovinj/Kroatien Applied research

Applied research is focussed on monitoring eutrophication and pollution in North Adriatic coastal and offshore waters. Several international projects, supported by universities, intergovernmental bodies and specialized agencies (UNEP, FAO, WHO etc.), are in procedure. The outburst of the recent war in Croatia has provoked, however, a temporary stagnancy of field research in the southern parts of the Adriatic Sea, but coastal and laboratory studies have not been affected.

The Center occupies a building at the seashore with about 750 square meters laboratory space; aquarium and auxiliary facilities occupy a 610 square-meter space. At the disposal of all project personnel and visiting scientists, are standard and sophisticated laboratory facilities, the research vessel 'Vila Velebita', the motor boat 'Burin', and small boats with outboard motors.
