According to www.redciencia.cu, the study will be helpful in the determining of measures to take during emergency situations brought on by climate change affecting coastal areas.
 
The director of the Camelia Research Unit, Renaud Fichez, explained that the exploration of Cuban southern coastal waters is part of a campaign called “Bahia” (Bay) sponsored by the Research Institute for Development of France, and the French universities of Marseille and Lille that have been working in cooperation with Cuba for five years.
 
For his part, CEAC Director Carlos Manuel Alonso Hernandez said no pollution has been found in the bay since the implementation of environmental services that allowed the restoration of residual treatment plants and fuel storage tanks. A region-serving oil refinery was recently returned to operation in the city.
