  1. HAZADR Strengthening common reactioncapacity to fightseapollution of oil, toxic and hazardoussubstances in Adriatic Sea National Institute ofBiology, Marine BiologyStation TheGulfofTrieste (northern Adriatic) Kick off meeting Bari, 21-22 January 2013

  2. Partner’sinstitutionalprofile Marine BiologyStationNational Institute ofBiology

  3. Partner’sinstitutionalprofile 1969 1978-1999 2000-2005 2006

  4. Partner’sinstitutionalprofile • Staff: 35 • - 19 researchers (18 Ph.D.) • - 7 youngresearchers • 8 expert, technical & administrative collaborators • Interdisciplinaryteam: • biologists, chemists, physicist, geologist, geoprapher, modeler • Early 80-ties: 29 staff (2 Ph.D.)

  5. Partner’sinstitutionalprofile Activities Basicandappliedresearch Monitoring, environmentalimpactassessment Education (undergraduate, graduate, educator’s education – marine issues, summercourses)

  6. Partner’sinstitutionalprofile • Within this project the National Institute of Biology, Marine Biology station as a research institution will start the first phase toward the operational monitoring of the sea surface. • This will involve: • the acquisition and setup of the adequate equipment (HF radar), • testing its performance and preparing for the routine surveillance in couple with the equipment that is already available at IstitutoNazionalediOceanografia e diGeofisicaSperimentale (OGS).

  7. Mainthreats to yourcoasts due to technologicalhazards or needs Portof Koper (Slovenia) Maritime cargo throughput (2010-2011) In theyear 2012 over 6000 cargoshipscame in andlefttheGulfofTrieste Portof Koper 2500 PortsofTriesteandMonfalcone 3000-4000

  8. Mainthreats to yourcoasts due to technologicalhazards or needs Oilspils are permannenttreat (december 2012) CleanSeaNet Alert Report 12.12.2012 In 2012 trips to Koper or visits to various tourist attractionsin the near hinterland attracted a total of 45 cruise vessels. Although a TrafficSeparationSchemeis in force shipsstill do ran aground (227 m longchineseship “Guo Dian 6” in February 2010)

  9. Expectations from the project • Duringandaftertheproject this equipment will serve to: • monitor possible oil spills and their spreading through the gulf, • to identifytheoriginsoftheoilspilsand • serve as a toolforverificationof model tools (nowcasting). • At the moment only one HF radar is operative in theGulfOfTrieste, but we need at least two (working in couple). • At the same time the Slovenian Environmental Agency (ARSO) is preparing the background to enforce the Sea surface monitoring program(In Slovenian coastal waters ARSO is the only institution authorised to perform such a monitoring). • Through bilateral cooperation ARSO (not partner at this project) and L'Agenzia per la protezionedell'ambiente del Friuli Venezia Giulia (ARPA)

  10. Ourcontribution to HAZADR • Exchange ofexperiences: • How to establish sea surface monitoring to effectively prevent the spreading of oil spills (using HF radars). • How to improve the reaction capacity due to accidental marine pollution (especially through joint exercises), cooperation with the national administration for civil protection and disaster relief
