Portuguese R&D institutions in the field of Marine Science and Technology

Given that the field of marine science and technology is transdisciplinary, there are several R&D institutions that contribute to knowledge and innovation in this area. Some of these institutions are dedicated to marine affairs, while others have only specific lines of activity. Some of these institutions are funded by FCT through its support to R&D Institutions and others do not receive funding from FCT.
