Convocatoria OCEAN-2010. Temas: 1) monitoring for marine IAS (Invasive Alien Species) – staff members from the centre have recorded Selene dorsalis and Cassiopea andromeda from the Maltese Islands. 2) monitoring of the physical marine environment (temperature, wave height, currents) – the IOI-MOC collects such data from existing 2 stations in the Maltese Islands; developed and operate existing mathematical models for the continental shelf area around the Maltese Islands. 3) site selection for offshore renewable energy facilities – staff at the centre are competent to assess anthropogenic impacts on benthic ecosystems as well as to monitor prevailing in-situ physical conditions. 4) formulation and dissemination of marine-related awareness material in connection with public perception of marine biodiversity – the IOI-MOC operates the IOI-Kids programme. 5) collection of water column parameters, including chlorophyll and phytoplankton, pursuant to developing models to predict eutrophication or jellyfish outbreaks.
