Taliarte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taliarte is located on the eastern coast of Gran Canaria, within the municipality of Telde, and stands out for its combination of fishing, marine, and scientific activity. The area is home to a marina that serves fishing, recreational, and scientific purposes, sheltered from northeasterly storms and well suited for maritime operations related to oceanographic research. It is also an ideal location for conducting drone-based monitoring of Portuguese man-of-war, and it lies close to the EOMAR <\/a>facilities, offering convenient access for field operations and research activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BIOPARC Aquarium of Gij\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Bioparc Gij\u00f3n Aquarium<\/a> actively collaborates with the PHYSALIA project by providing access to its outdoor tanks and supplying live bait, enabling the temporary maintenance of collected Physalia physalis<\/em> colonies. These specialized facilities allow researchers to extend specimen survival and conduct controlled experiments essential for advancing the study of their biology, navigation, and behavior, reinforcing the aquarium\u2019s commitment to marine research and conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
