The Marine Sciences Programme in Galician is part of the Joint Marine Sciences Program in Spain in collaboration with another 6 Spanish Regions to deploy a joint research and innovation strategy in marine sciences to sustainably address the new challenges in monitoring and observing the marine environment, climate change, aquaculture and other sectors of the blue economy and to create synergies, align the execution of funds and establish common priorities across regions. We have three main lines of action or objectives:
i) Implementing a sustained and integrated observation and monitoring of marine ecosystems
ii) Fostering precise and sustainable aquaculture production
iii) Promoting social and economic transformation, the transfer, training and capitalization of knowledge towards a truly sustainable blue economy

METU-IMS is the leading international marine science institute in Turkey with a 100% English education and research. The institute is among the top-rated academic units within Turkey in terms of number of publications, citations per researcher and number of nationally and internationally funded research projects. Since its establishment METU-IMS studies have been carried out with an emphasis on combined theory and practical laboratory working with three main branches: 1) Marine Geology and Geophysics, 2) Marine Biology and Fisheries and 3) Oceanography. METU-IMS offers MSc and PhD education and post-doctoral research opportunities. The long-term vision of METU-IMS is to integrate fundamental research, blue growth solutions and public outreach towards the overall goal of sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems based on excellent science. The Institute carries out research (both observational and theoretical) both on the national (the Eastern Mediterranean, the Aegean Sea, the Turkish Straits System, the Black Sea) and international waters (e.g. Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Southern Oceans, North Sea and Baltic Sea). Currently, the research conducted by METU-IMS covers a wide spectrum of topics interdisciplinary connected, including physical and chemical oceanography, ecosystem modelling, marine biology and fisheries, biodiversity and conservation, bioinformatics, metatranscriptomics, population genetics, evolution and geometrical morphometrics, geophysics, biogeochemistry and policy making.

METU-IMS has been intensively involved to numerous international large-scale projects. These included NATO projects such as TU-Fisheries, TU-BlackSea, TU-DBMS and other linkage grants in cooperation with Black Sea riparian countries. In the 2000s, several IAEA and European Commission projects (MAMA, ARENA, ADIOS) embarked. More recently, European support has been through Framework Programme 6, 7 and H2020 projects and programs such as MEECE, EURO-BASIN, OPEC, PERSEUS, COCONET, and SUMMER. Last but not least METU-IMS is the coordinator of H2020-funded Black Sea CONNECT and BRIDGE-BS projects and currently partners to 12 Horizon 2020 and Europe projects.

Fishing gear poses a threat to the seas, and fisheries activities lead to the generation of marine litter. The EU-funded NETTAG+ project will develop three innovative and sustainable solutions to mitigate the adverse impacts of fishing gear on marine life and habitats. These solutions will aim to prevent marine litter, minimise fishing gear loss and remove abandoned fishing gear. By reducing abandoned, lost, discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) and decreasing marine pollution, the project aims to minimise the introduction of hazardous chemicals and microplastics, prevent ghost fishing and the entanglement of endangered species, and enhance the mapping, tracking and retrieval of ALDFG technologies. NETTAG+ will test these solutions in real conditions within Atlantic and Mediterranean countries.
