IWRS participates in the CRP project “Our food, countryside and natural resources in 2022”.
The fields of work of the Sector for Marine Waters cover the regulation, use and protection of the sea. Our Sector prepares expert bases for the Sea Management Plan pursuant to the Decree on Detailed Content of Marine Environment Management Plan as well as development tasks and expert bases for marine environment impact assessments. In the area of protection, we determine the impact of pressures on the individual elements of the environmental state pursuant to the requirements of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and prepare expert bases for assessing the hydromorphological pressures (for coastal waters and lakes). We prepare expert bases and methodologies for waste pollution management, for assessing the individual elements of the environmental state with regard to coastal waste and micro-plastics pollution in water and for content linked to managing the impact of underwater noise on the marine environment. The Sector for Marine Waters also carries out development, research and applied projects in the area of sea management.
