Facilities where the Marine Biology Laboratory will conduct new lines of research and various studies for the conservation of endangered aquatic species.
This morning, the scientific facilities of the University of Seville were inaugurated at the Aquarium. The event was attended by the Councilor for Environment and Territorial Planning, the Rector of the University of Seville, the President of the Port Authority, and the Director of the Seville Aquarium.
These facilities, with unique equipment in the world, will primarily serve to conduct experimental research for the conservation of protected aquatic species, with special reference to those that are endangered; as well as studies to monitor turbidity levels in the Guadalquivir estuary.
The intention of the Seville Aquarium is to play a very important role in conservation and learning about the natural environment. In addition to serving as an exhibition of a fragment of nature, it works to respond to the growing concern for the environment. Hence, the collaboration agreement with the Marine Biology Laboratory of the University of Seville, to develop new lines of research in the Aquarium facilities.
