Atlânticoline joins research project to protect marine life

jornalacores9.pt9 September 2026 at 17:02

The company Atlânticoline signed a cooperation agreement with the Regional Directorate for Maritime Policies to participate in the European project LIFE Natura@Night. This project aims to study the effects of light pollution on marine ecosystems.

As part of this partnership, monitoring equipment will be installed on the company's two ferries, Mestre Jaime Feijó and Gilberto Mariano. The equipment will allow the collection of data on marine life and the impacts of artificial light on the oceans.

This collaboration aims to contribute to the protection of marine biodiversity through scientific research. The European project LIFE Natura@Night focuses specifically on the negative effects that artificial lighting can have on marine species and their habitats.
