- Pollution of the coastal and marine medium. Evaluation of indicators of the good environmental status: Pollution of the Coastal and Marine Environment. Assessment of Indicators affecting Good Environmental Status.
- Innovative technologies for the observation and sustainable use of coastal and oceanic renewable resources: Innovative Technologies for the Observation and Sustainable use of Renewable Coastal and Ocean Resources.
- Marine garbage assessment in open ocean -Openplas-: Monitoring of marine litter (plastic and microplastic) in open ocean in the Canary Islands region from the surface to 2000 meters depth in the water column, and also in marine sediment. Identification, characterization, and quantification of these plastics: sample counting, polymer characterization, types of plastic additives, and other present compounds that may be sources of marine environment contamination such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
