COLDEMAR and "Guardianes del Mar" began monitoring rocky reefs in the Gulf of Tribugá, integrating scientific expertise, local knowledge and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.

This week, COLDEMAR traveled to Nuquí to launch its first research project, which will examine the marine and coastal socio-ecological impacts of the 2026–2027 El Niño event.
