In conjunction with current numerical modelling tools, it aims to minimize the inherent costs to operations, increase their speed and facilitate the identification of polluting sources. Through the design and implementation of simple rapid sampling processes, this project aims to increase national capacity for monitoring and response to marine pollution while minimizing risks and safeguarding ecosystems, material assets and human lives.
