An integrated surveillance system for chronic and accidental marine pollution is proposed to improve decision making. This project, called ARCOBLEU, is based on organizing advanced communication and information tools and techniques in a multi-source / multi-user architecture. A Franco-Italian consortium associating private companies and public research institutes has already received the support of the EEC MAST program to carry out the preliminary phase of the system requirement, by using the high Tyrrhenean sea as a pilot zone. Future extension to the Western Mediterranean basin is already planned under the name of MED-ARCOBLEU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
