Research projects
To properly plan, implement, and scale up blue-green solutions, we need more knowledge about 1) the effectiveness (or side-effects) of larger-scale measures and 2) how much is needed to reduce drought risk to an acceptable level.

Blue Growth
But possibly even more important in the success of mariculture is the fact that the industry also wants to be part of the blue growth. This "Blue Growth" includes offshore energy extraction, aquaculture, marine biotechnology, offshore mining and coastal defense. In other words, the sustainable exploitation of the ocean and seas.
Events
The theme for this year's conference is "Innovation & Biorefinery in Seafood Production and Processing" and we invite you to submit presentations under the following six important research areas in this blue biotechnology sector:
