Projects and innovation
Farming better and with less impact demands research. That is why we coordinate and take part in projects with science centres and universities, here, in our own tidal ponds.
Research in the tidal ponds
Our tidal ponds are also an open-air laboratory. We coordinate a project that brings fish, seaweed and sea cucumber together in the same system, and we take part in another that aims to return seagrass meadows to the Ria de Alvor. Science carried out where the fish grow.

Ongoing projects
One coordinated by us, the other in partnership. Each has its own page, with everything that is happening in the tidal ponds.
Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture
Fish, seaweed and sea cucumber in the same system: what one level releases, the next makes use of. A model that does not yet exist on a commercial scale in Portugal.
Seagrass meadows in the Ria de Alvor
A European project, coordinated by CCMAR, to restore seagrass meadows. We are restoring the former BioMarim salt pan for cultivation and demonstration.
In the tidal ponds and in the lab
Trial tanks, seaweed and sea cucumbers: the project’s work happens here, alongside production. Drag to see more.
Application under review
Two new projects submitted, to keep improving the way we farm.
Optimising tidal pond production systems.
Improving the environmental quality of aquaculture.
