National Marine Park of Zakynthos Workshop on “Marine Pollution: Monitoring S...ARGOMARINE
The Management Agency of National Marine Park of Zakynthos (NMPZ) organized a Scientific Environmental Workshop on “Marine Pollution: Monitoring Systems and Treatment” which held on Monday 30th July 2012, at the Cultural Centre of Zakynthos. The Workshop began at 9:45 a.m. and concluded at 15:00 p.m. Afterwards, the guests were guided in the marine protected area of the NMPZ.
The Workshop held in the framework of NMPZ participation (as one of the Scientific Partners) in the FP7 – European Union funded Project: ARGOMARINE “Automatic Oil-Spill Recognition and Geopositioning integrated in a Marine Monitoring Network” which aims to develop an Integrated System for Marine Traffic Monitoring and Marine Pollution Early Warning, particularly for environmental- sensitive sea areas.
After the 1st successful Workshop on “ARGOMARINE: A New Oil Spill Early Warning System” which was organized by NMPZ on 15th December 2011 on Zakynthos island among the Scientific Partners of the ARGOMARINE Project and representatives from the competent Local Services of the island, NMPZ proceeded to the organization of a 2nd Workshop open to the public.
On 07 September 2012, CNR (Laboratory of Signals and Images), in the field of ARGOMARINE project (www.argomarine.eu), launched “Argo Sentinel”: the Mobile App to report oil sliks on the sea.
Reports, geolocated using GPS, are sent to the Maritime Information System (MIS), the “thinking brain” of the ARGOMARINE network able to analyze data and integrate them with mathematical forecasting models.

ARGOMARINE ACTIVITIES
1. To develop and to combine marine observig technologies for a more reliable detection and the monitoring of hydrocarbon/oil spills in marine environment, in support of preventive and emergency interventions.
2. To develop an Integrated Communication System (ICS) to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission from different types of sensors to the MIS, providing an accurate geo-positioning of every data item.
3. To develop and to test a Marine Information System (MIS), an operational central unit provided with evaluation adn decision-making power (expert system) where remote sensing data, field experiment results and estimates from simulation models are integrated in order to support the authorities in emergency handling and management.
ARGOMARINE è un progetto teso a sviluppare un sistema di controllo del traffico e dell’inquinamento marino all’interno di aree sensibili dal punto di vista ambientale e di particolare valore naturalistico come quelle dell’Arcipelago Toscano.
Le attività del Progetto prevedono il controllo dell’inquinamento da idrocarburi e degli sversamenti abusivi di petrolio e derivati in mare mediante l’utilizzo simultaneo di tecnologie in grado di pattugliare larghe estensioni di mare.
I dati raccolti vengono integrati con informazioni di geolocalizzazione e geoposizionamento ed inviati attraverso una rete a larga banda al MIS, il cervello pensante di ARGOMARINE ospitato nella sala operativa della Capitaneria di Porto di Portoferraio.
Il MIS (Marine Information System) è una centrale di elaborazione dotata di capacità decisionali e di valutazione, progettata utilizzando tecnologie di supercalcolo ed Intelligenza Artificiale, in grado di elaborare i dati raccolti dalle varie fonti, valutare i modelli matematici e previsionali immagazzinati nella sua memoria, prevedere le evoluzioni dell’evento critico e assistere le autorità preposte nella gestione dell’emergenza.
