At Marina Palamós, we continue to advance our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Now, thanks to collaboration with OceanEcoestructures and SARTI-UPC, we have installed a real-time camera that allows live observation of the microreef located at the harbor entrance. This initiative offers a unique window into the seabed and enables detailed monitoring of the marine biodiversity regeneration process.

Innovation for Marine Ecosystem Regeneration

The installed camera’s main objective is to monitor the behavior of the innovative material developed by SEASLAG, a research project exploring new solutions for marine regeneration. Using by-products from the steel and agri-food industries, SEASLAG develops biomimetic structures that help repopulate marine species in degraded environments.

One of the most interesting aspects of this research is the valorization of industrial waste such as white slag, bivalve shells, and eggshells. These materials, which often end up as waste, find a new purpose in the marine environment, serving as a foundation for new ecosystems to form.

Biodiversity Monitoring and Analysis

The camera installation enables real-time tracking of how marine species colonize these structures. With the help of AI models, marine species will be identified and classified, optimizing biodiversity analysis and providing valuable scientific data.
