Activities of LIEM include:

• Environmental impact assessments of: aquacultures, marinas to coastal sea, submarine outlets
• Capacity assessment of: environment for aquaculture, protected areas for boats and yachts
• Environmental capacity increase for aquacultures
• Estimation of water and solute transport in environment
• Prediction of hypoxia in seas and lakes
• Inventory and threat assessment of fungi in particular geographic areas
• Identification of fungi
• Development of information systems for environmental protection and management: surface water quality and impact of river navigation
• Development of Web GIS applications
• Creation of digital charts and GPS data transformation
