ACTION DOMAINSPhoto © Carlos Alexandre
Biotech- & Nature based Solutions for Blue Economy aims at bridging the gap between research and society through two pathways:
- by addressing a market-focused approach based on novel lines of discovery relevant for the marine and maritime sectors;
- by contributing to ecosystem services assessment and valuation, supporting its integration into decision-making processes and the decarbonisation of blue economy sectors.
This action domain will deliver new biotechnological applications, products, processes and services, providing solutions for the Blue Economy sectors, in particular those linked to seafood production, commercial fisheries and fish production (e.g. aquaculture).
