AIMM (Association for Marine Environment Research)

AIMM - Associação para Investigação do Meio Marinho, is a Portuguese non-governmental and non-profit organisation dedicated to the research and conservation of marine species and their ecosystems, especially species that live in the south of Portugal. Founded in 2010 and based in the Algarve, it aims to be a reference in terms of research, conservation and education of the marine environment, promoting activities and establishing partnerships that, in a co-operative way, enhance the understanding of issues related to the marine environment. AIMM has developed most of its projects in the Algarve region, but also in other regions of Portugal and abroad, particularly in the Atlantic. We work in collaboration with national and international organisations, such as maritime agents, competent authorities, dolphin watching companies, other NGOs and public institutions. In co-operation, we try to promote a more sustainable and safer environment for marine species.
