The vision for the development of marine research: 

Examining the oceanic system as a whole and unraveling the connections between biology, geology and oceanography is the only way we will fully understand the marine environment. Cross disciplinary research is vital in order to protect this precious resource from the dangers of over exploitation and global warming. In addition, understanding the connection between ancient man and the sea is crucial in light of sea level rise.

Active studies in the Mediterranean:

Tracing macro- and micro-plastic pollution paths from the shelf to the deep Mediterranean
