Institut De Ciències Del Mar - CSIC

The ICM, one of the leading marine research centres in Spain and in the Mediterranean region, is formed by four Departments, Technical Services and a Marine Station. The Institute covers most of the fields of oceanographic research (physical and chemical oceanography, geology and biology), which gives it a global vision of marine ecosystems and the ability to assess the impact of man on the environment and to seek appropriate solutions. The goal of the ICM consists on expanding our scientific understanding of the seas and oceans and on discovering their role in the context of our planet.
