- The Portuguese Coastal Monitoring Network (CoastNet) is a Research Infrastructure (RI) included in the Portuguese Roadmap of Research Infrastructures, designed to improve the understanding of Portuguese coastal ecosystems’ functioning through the development of a coastal monitoring system.
One of the lines of action that is being implemented through CoastNet is the Portuguese Tracking Network (PTN). PTN consists on an array of biotelemetry acoustic receivers in several Portuguese estuaries (Lima, Cávado, Douro, Vouga, Mondego, Tagus, Sado, Mira and Guadiana) and adjacent coastal areas, deployed to collect data on tagged aquatic animals.
