Estação Litoral da Aguda, Marine research station in Aguda, Portugal.
The coastal station spans three sections: a fishery museum displaying maritime equipment, an aquarium with local species, and an educational research department.
The facility opened in 1999 following an investment of 1.5 million euros, stemming from a 1988 proposal by Dr. Mike Weber of Abel Salazar Institute.
The fishery museum presents a scale model of the 1980s Aguda beach fleet alongside exhibits of traditional Portuguese fishing methods and equipment.
The station features 15 aquarium tanks containing over 1,000 marine creatures, wheelchair access, multilingual information, free parking, and public transport connections.
The research department conducts conservation projects for honeycomb worms and participates in the recovery of juvenile European lobsters.
