The Centro de Oceanografia (CO) is a multidisciplinary marine research centre of the Portuguese national R&D system. The host institution is the Faculty of Sciences University of Lisbon (FCUL). The other partner institution is Évora University (UE).
The mission of CO is to develop, at high international level, basic and applied research in oceanography and aquatic ecosystems.
From August 2010 to May 2011,

Veden Taika (The Magic of Water) consists of three floating islands in Salo, Finland. The islands provide nesting habitat for birds and plant based filtration for improving water quality in the Salo Bird Pools, lagoons that were formerly used in the sewage treatment processes of the Salo Municipal Sewage Treatment Facility. Because an abundance of migrating and nesting birds now use the lagoons, the pools have been established as an EU-directive conservation site. The birds need nesting areas separated from surrounding land to protect the eggs and young birds from predators.
Biosculptures™ are living sculptures that use the capacity of carefully chosen plants to clean and filter water. Made of mosses, ferns and other plants growing on stone and concrete structures, they provide ecological and aesthetic solutions to water quality and water quantity problems.
