Gliders for Research, Ocean Observation and Management (GROOM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Underwater gliders are intelligent and affordable platforms, useful for long-term, multi parameter marine observations. Because of their remotely controlled navigational capabilities and the high spatial and temporal resolution of their measurements in real-time, gliders have been identified to fill gaps existing in the existing ocean observing systems. Along with there rapidly growing importance ...

Knowledge-based Sustainable Management for Europe's Seas (KnowSeas)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

Europe’s four regional seas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean and NE Atlantic) have suffered severe environmental degradation due to human pressure. Existing measures to manage pressures have proven inadequate and the EC has responded by proposing a new policy (Maritime Strategy Blue Book) and environmental legislation (Marine Strategy Directive), both currently close to adoption. These instruments re ...

Warning of Algal Toxin Events to support aquaculture in the NPP coastal zone Region 3.7 (WATER)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Dec 30, 2011,

The pristine waters of the Northern Periphery (NP) coastal zone provide an ideal environment for shellfish aquaculture, a low environmental impact industry which has expanded across Europe considerably over the past years, providing employment in remote coastal regions. Its development has however been hampered by episodic contamination of product with naturally occurring biotoxins derived from ph ...

Sustainable Development of Cod Farming - NORTH COD (NORTH COD)

Start date: Dec 31, 2004, End date: Dec 30, 2007,

Historically, the most important fish species in the northern periphery has been cod. However, recent years have witnessed a decline in wild fish stocks. With the decline in wild fisheries for cod, aquaculture of this species has become commercially realistic and is now an emergent industry in northern periphery countries. Aquaculture of cod has a valuable potential role in the development and emp ...
