The iFADO (Innovation in the Frame work of the Atlantic Deep Ocean) project aims to assist offshore Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) implementation.

It will combine traditional monitoring with cost-effective, state-of-the-art technologies: remote sensing, numerical modelling and emerging observation platforms such as gliders and oceanic buoys.

Aim

The iFADO project aims to create marine services at regional and sub regional scale using the EU Atlantic Waters as case study. By filling current technical gaps, iFADO would use the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) implementation to demonstrate the application of innovative products.

Gliders (Seaglider, Slocum glider)
Oceanographic sampling (sensor and mooring equipment)
