Last 19 July started the  ISPRA's dissemination campaign to tell about the specific activities developed by its researchers, in compliance with the shared programs in Europe, both through observation and monitoring of marine environments, and in the field of laboratory research. 
The sixth initiative is dedicated to ISPRA's National Wawe Netwrok
All shipbuilding and navigation activities, maritime works, from ports to coastal protection works, offshore installations and all human activities and infrastructures that reside on the coastal strip require knowledge of the physical state of the sea of ​​the wave motion. The accelerometric buoys that make up the national network managed by ISPRA represent an important source of meteorological data, of height and direction of the wave in real time and are accessible through the websites: www.mareografico.it as well as on the web portal ISPRA.
