Primeros resultados del futuro Peiraos do Solpor: “la batea experimental de A Laxe alumbra una biodiversidad marina de crecimiento muy rápido”

Hace apenas tres meses, la Universidad de Vigo junto con la Autoridad Portuaria de Vigo pusieron en marcha el proyecto piloto de lo que será el futuro “Peiraos do Solpor”. Se colgaron del pantalán de A Laxe (Puerto de Vigo) 27 estructuras a modo de batea (microarrecifes). Estas estructuras presentan distintas formas de relieve para facilitar la adhesión de diferentes organismos marinos sésiles. Los resultados obtenidos durante los primeros seguimientos evidencian la gran fertilidad de estas aguas sometidas a un intenso tráfico marítimo. Además, también es ya posible obtener una idea aproximada de los mejores tipos de estructura para atraer a determinadas especies y en una determinada cantidad. Ahora algunas de esas estructuras han sido retiradas y llevadas a laboratorio para realizar un análisis más pormenorizado.  

La siguiente fase de este ambicioso proyecto será la instalación a pie del muelle de Portocultura otra “batea” experimental, a partir de las conclusiones obtenidas en el proyecto piloto, que ofrecerá a cualquiera interesado la posibilidad de seguir la evolución del crecimiento de las colonias marinas por medio de un suelo parcialmente transparente.

A tool for testing green hydrogen deployment scenarios in ports As interest in green hydrogen as a pathway to decarbonisation grows, so does the need for practical tools to help stakeholders assess the technical, economic and operational considerations of developing hydrogen infrastructure, from production and storage through to transport and end use. Since HYDEA's main objective is to drive the hydrogen transition in ports across the Atlantic Area, the project set out to develop a decision-support tool for hydrogen applications in ports. The main aim of this open-source tool, called HyTEA 1.0, is to support techno-economic assessment and decision-making in the planning and development of green hydrogen supply chains. It was developed by researchers at the University of Galway, a partner in the HYDEA consortium.

• The APV once again draws inspiration from Jules Verne and his "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" to bring "Atlántida" to life, evoking Captain Nemo and the crew of the Nautilus, who walked the seabed discovering the hidden treasures of the submerged realm. • Admission will be free, with guided visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and national public holidays from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. • Visitors will be able to observe first-hand the daily routine of the various marine species that inhabit this ecosystem, such as white seabream, common two-banded seabream, ballan wrasse, seabass, cuttlefish, bogue and the distinctive triggerfish.
