N2 - European oceans will be subject to massive
development of marine infrastructure in
the near future. The development includes
energy facilities, e.g. offshore wind farms,
exploitation of wave energy, and also development
and implementation of marine aquaculture
This change of infrastructure makes
the concept of multi-use offshore platforms
particularly interesting.
The development of new concepts requires
effective marine technology and governance
solutions. Simultaneously, both economic
costs and environmental impacts have to
remain within acceptable limits. These concerns
are at the core of the MERMAID project
funded under ‘The Ocean of Tomorrow’ call
for proposals.
At the end of the project, a set of specific
guidelines are produced in order to assist
future stakeholders within the offshore industries
with a view to planning, establishing and
operating their businesses in the most optimal
way. The multi-disciplinary and cross-sectorial
approach of this project is very innovative and
the EU benefit lies in the case studies that address
four EU-regional seas.
MERMAID established close links with the
other projects, TROPOS and H2OCEAN,
funded under the same ‘The Ocean of Tomorrow’
topic in order to enhance complementarities
and synergies.
