An innovative real-time monitoring platform for the Central Mediterranean, as well as a fully integrated laboratory for remote sensing, ocean models, chemical analysis, and marine property data. These are some of the outcomes and actions carried out by ENEA as part of the Marine Hazard project, which is supported by the PON measure "Research and competitiveness 2007-2013" and directed by the CNR. The WebGIS platform is made up of a true open-source database that can manage environmental and geographic information as well as monitor various maritime features and parameters in real time. Also linked to natural and anthropogenic pollution. As part of the project, ENEA also worked on sediment analysis and satellite data, modeling research on marine circulation, and in situ and remote measurements of marine parameters. The platform was developed by the two ENEA laboratories "Observations and Measurements for the Environment and Climate" and "Protection of Critical Infrastructures" in collaboration with the CNR, as part of the activities aimed at the development of an integrated laboratory for remote sensing: in addition to data from in situ measurements and remote sensing from the ENEA Observatories in Lampedusa and the CNR in Capo Granitola (Sicily), the maxi-laboratory is able to receive and process information related to Earth Observation from the "Copernicus Marine Environment", and to make available to the scientific community and institutions a multi-year archive of daily satellite data, which can be consulted and downloaded.
