The TIAMAT Observatory Atlantic Islands facilitates the continuous monitoring of the marine environment in the Atlantic Islands Maritime-Terrestrial National Park in Galicia.
This tool provides timely information about the ocean state and variability, through the automated monitoring and visualization of ocean variables and indicators, from daily to interannual scales.

The TIAMAT Observatory Atlantic Islands allows analyzing the spatial and temporal variability of essential ocean variables (sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, chlorophyll-a concentration, sea level, currents and winds) and other specific indicators (marine heatwaves and water quality).
This observatory provides daily monitoring (ocean conditions and detection of extreme events), monthly monitoring (monthly and seasonal variability) and annual monitoring (interannual variability and trends) through graphical information (maps and timeseries).
The TIAMAT Observatory aims to be a management and decision-making tool for the National Park network and other marine protected areas at regional, national and international levels. It also creates a channel for awareness raising and communication to society about the challenges that the Parks are facing regarding their conservation in a complex context of global change.
