Bombs and shells: remnants of the past
The Blue Cluster focuses on efficient and sustainable forms of fishing and aquaculture, and explores the potential of marine resources. Within that context, we conduct research into the cultivation of mussels, oysters and seaweed, among other things. We are also looking at the possibilities of constructing sea farms.
Projects in the spotlight
SeaChem
In progress
SeaChem focuses on the training of a new generatation of researchers involved in the production and valorisation of seaweed biomass. The project aims to increase support for this in the EU by tackling current problems in offshore seaweed cultivation.
