Seawater pollution is an environmental, economic and social problem. It is for this reason that the development of a monitoring device that effectively and quickly detects worrisome levels of pollution is key to the better management of our oceans and coastal areas. Therefore, the EU project SMS is developing an in-situ real time monitoring system for seawater quality control.

Seawater pollution not only puts biodiversity at risk and disrupts the fragile equilibrium that exists underwater, but also affects economic activities, such as fisheries, aquaculture and tourism.
