RV Mário Ruivo was acquired under the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 (EEA Grants 2009-2014) programme and created the opportunity for project development to meet the national obligations in the field of the oceans research.
In the first phase of the project, the RV Mário Ruivo was adapted with technical changes, including the establishment of scientific laboratories, to allow fishing operations and to support the operation of ROV.
The second phase aiming for the acquisition of several scientific equipment that will allow to upgrade the RV Mário Ruivo and improve the robustness of studies related with the application of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, minimizing the impacts on marine ecosystems.
