Managing Ocean Front Ecosystems for Climate Change – OceanFrontCHANGE
Ocean fronts are meeting places of life in the oceans. Marine organisms from plankton to blue whales congregate at the interface of cooler and warmer waters, due to the prevalence of enhanced productivity at fronts. The technology for identifying ocean fronts is well-established, including mapping
Evaluation, Mitigation and Adaptation of Impacts of Ocean Acidification to Marine Ecosystems – OA-ME
Ocean Acidification (OA) owing to increasing atmospheric CO2 may have profound impacts on marine ecosystems including coral reefs that may lose their fundamental function of reef construction. However, large spatial-temporal variation and technological hurdles of monitoring seawater carbonate chem
Global shipping: Linking policy and economics to biogeochemical cycling and air-sea interaction – ShipTRASE
Shipping is the most widely used medium for transport of goods internationally and will continue to increase. Although shipping is a carbon-efficient transport medium, there is an increasing focus on its broader environmental consequences. For a sustainable and equitable use of the oceans, as well
Integrated and sustainable regulation of cones in Eastern Polynesia – PolyCone
Toxins of cone snails (conotoxins) are an important source of pharmaceuticals for treating human health. Development of a sustainable use plan for this resource is hence key. However, a few of the 931 species of cone snails have been studied in detail and only a small fraction of conotoxin diversi
Assessment Framework for successful development of viable ocean multi-use systems – MULTI-FRAME
Several innovative ocean multi-use (MU) concepts that could contribute to a more sustainable and efficient use of ocean space have been proposed by the scientific and business community. There are yet very few of these MU concepts that are today implemented, mainly due to a lack of knowledge about
Coastal OceAn SusTainability in Changing Climate – COAST
COAST (Coastal OceAn SusTainability in Changing Climate) project focuses on the sustainability of the coastal ocean under the impacts of ongoing and projected climate variability and change. The project will address impacts of climate change and increased human activity on coastal zones by integra
