Historically, EO-based products, with some exceptions like meteorology, have not been widely adopted by the fisheries industry. This is partly due to the EO sector’s lack of experience in fully understanding the specific operational needs of the fisheries industry. Additionally, fisheries stakeholders, including industrial and small-scale operators, regulating bodies, certification entities, NGOs, and insurance companies, …
Aquaculture offers an additional supply of human food resources as well as an alternative to overfishing. Accordingly, aquaculture is a mean to meet the growing global demand for (sea)food and a low carbon footprint protein source but the sustainability of farming activities is impacted by several key factors. These factors or the environmental conditions associated …
This webinar is part of ESA’s project Blue Economy: Innovation Clusters, Atlantic Natural Resources Management and Maritime Spatial Planning, developed in the scope of the Agency’s Atlantic Regional Initiative. Focused on Marine Renewable Energies, the webinar is organised in the context of the agreement between ESA and the International Renewable Energy Agency IRENA (Bonn), and …
This webinar is part of ESA-WOC cooperation and will present the outcomes of the project Blue Economy: Innovation Clusters, Atlantic Natural Resources Management and Maritime Spatial Planning. Focused on the topics of Innovation Technology Clusters and Maritime Spatial Planning, this webinar will also provide insights on ESA view for the uptake of EO for the …
Coastal Blue Carbon is the carbon captured and sequestered by photosynthetic organisms and ultimately stored in the biomass, soils and sediments within and beyond coastal vegetated ecosystems, such as salt marshes, seagrass beds and mangrove forests, for periods of time relevant to climate change mitigation. These Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs) may contribute to 50% of …
The 2-years Blue Economy project aims at developing and demonstrating EO driven data solutions, which deliver actionable information to key coastal stakeholders. Applications will focus on the areas of coastal monitoring, ocean renewable energy, and marine litter. It is being implemented through the European Space Agency’s Atlantic Regional Initiative. In parallel, a range of Atlantic-focused …
