Marine Research Center in Santa PolaMarine Research Center in Santa Pola
The Research Marine center (CIMAR) is an active center, where activities are carried out to know a way so close and yet so unknown as the marine environment, its biodiversity and its environment; to teach how to use its resources responsibly and help to protect this fragile ecosystem, contributing to their rational use and management.
The center, which is the result of an agreement between the City of Santa Pola and Alicante University, began working in 2005, adapting the structure of a former police barracks built in the 20s (headquarters of the Torre d'Enmig), with a privileged location at the foot of the coral reef fossil of Santa Pola and a few meters from the coast.
The center has adequate facilities for their activities to meet, teach and protect: specialized library, research laboratories and practices, conference room and exhibition hall on marine life.
All of this makes CIMAR an excellent location for the development of marine research, teaching and environmental education.
