Report on the marine litter collected by bottom trawlers in Catalonia 2023 (ICATMAR, 24-08)

This report contains information on the marine litter fraction of the catch of the bottom trawl fleet of the northern GSA 6, gathered through ICATMAR’s fisheries monitoring program.

Analysis of the first year’s performance of HR Radars in wave measurements and filtered data

This technical report provides a evaluation of wave data collected by two high-frequency radars (Begur and Creus – ICATMAR) in comparison to a nearby offshore mooring buoy (Cap de Begur – Puertos del Estado) from 2023-03-08 11:00:00 to 2024-06-11 07:00:00. Results show a low correlation between the HF radar and buoy measurement systems using raw data, but a significant improvement is observed once the data is filtered using the parameters provided by the radar. Currently, the wave data from the HF radars is not reliable for operational wave detection, but the data can be used if supervised.

Who are we?

ICATMAR is carrying out a programme to monitor both recreational and commercial fishing along the Catalan coast, and a programme of observation, analysis and prediction of the physical characteristics of the sea.
