Seaweed Aquaculture:
A promising tool for the restoration and sustainable development of coastal environments or an expensive end-of-pipe technology? (RECOVER)
Kiel, Germany 12-13 December 2019
[A foresight workshop funded by EuroMarine after its 2018 call for proposals]
Interested Participants:
There are currently limited spaces available for interested EuroMarine members to participate in the upcoming foresight workshop: RECOVER. These spots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if you would like to apply to join, please e-mail Dr Birgit Quack (bquack@geomar.de).
Objectives:
To bring marine biogeochemists, macro-algae experts, modelers, engineers, architects and seaweed farmers together with plankton and fish ecologists and regional experts to discuss pathways towards the realisation of sustainable pilot-scale trials in three sample regions, each with unique impacts and constraints:
- The Bight of Dakar (a heavily polluted environment with direct waste water discharge)
- Madeira (run–off in the oligotrophic ocean)
- The Southwest Baltic Sea (subject to eutrophication from surface runoff)
Please refer to the workshop’s EuroMarine activity page for further details on the event.
Organizers:
- Dr Birgit Quack, GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel, Germany; marine biogeochemistry and chemical oceanography.
- Dr Florian Weinberger, GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel, Germany; marine ecology and benthos ecology.
