IDMAR is the largest laboratory for marine scientific research in Europe, with detection instruments installed at a depth of 3,500 meters.
It is a research infrastructure distributed across the sea, with both land-based and underwater nodes, with its main hubs located in Catania, Portopalo di Capo Passero (Siracusa), Milazzo (Messina), Capo Granitola (Trapani), and Palermo.
