The project will develop an economic analysis of the complex interactions between wind energy development at sea and the structure of fishing activities, considering the cumulative impacts of multiple wind farm developments on spatial crowding of fishing areas, the [...]
In recent years, the concept of co-location of multiple species in aquaculture has gained interest among the scientific community and the industry. The integration of pellet-fed finfish with inorganic extractive algae and organic extractive shellfish is seen as a [...]
Offshore seaweed aquaculture presents significant opportunities to coexist with other aquaculture ventures (e.g., finfish farming) and offshore energy developments, thanks to its ability to attenuate hydrodynamic energy and reduce hazardous ocean conditions. However, current predictive models are limited, often [...]
Despite monumental technological progress in these complex industries in recent years, the topic of the human element and the role of the workforce in the sustainability of the industries are under-researched (Pace, Saritas, and Deidun 2023). This study addresses [...]
Canopies of seaweed, as formed in seaweed aquaculture, have the potential to attenuate hydrodynamic energy from waves and currents by exerting drag forces on the water column and thereby may offer co-benefits to adjacently located marine infrastructure such as [...]
Giant kelp forests rank among the planet’s most productive and biodiverse ecosystems, providing a habitat for thousands of species. Kelp plants capture significant amounts of carbon during their growth and play a vital role in mitigating climate change. Additionally, kelp [...]
The project will involve identifying Design Waves on structures with different driving loads, with focus on offshore renewables. Design Waves are sequences of waves which induce the extreme load or extreme response on an offshore structure. The concept is [...]
