The collaboration between CEIMAR and Almeriport has set an overall target for synergies between the two institutions and bring together actions to promote and research the marine environment and fishing Almeria. The Almeriport Bay Foundation, in addition to the promotion of services logístico- port of Almeria, seeks to improve logistics competitiveness of different economic sectors in the province, and among them is the fishing. The fisheries sector has undergone major changes to be put in value, and some of them have been in the hands of a new logistics.

David Soler, manager of the Almeriport Bay Foundation, points out that the main advantage of the signing of the agreement is to bring the academic and university research to agents of Almeria fisheries sector.
