Mediterranean Science Commission (CIESM) | |
CIESM was founded in 1910 to federate marine research and explorations across the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Working at the frontiers of marine science, and supported by 23 Member States, the Commission keeps a scientific watch over the Mediterranean and Black Seas, relying on a pool of vast human resources - 4,200 marine scientists distributed in 500 research institutes around the whole Basin. CIESM produces authoritative, independent reports on the status and trends of their marine systems. Contact: Dr. Paulo Nunes |
