Plymouth Marine Laboratory

Project ORACLES, led by Robosys in partnership with ACUA, MSEIS, Plymouth Marine Laboratories, and OREC, seeks to transform the environmental consenting process for offshore wind farms (OWF), particularly in areas like the Celtic Sea, which can take up to 48 months, creating significant delays and increased costs for developers. One reason it takes this l...

A new collaboration between remote ocean sensing company Oshen, data analytics solution Smart Green Shipping, scientific marine hub Plymouth Marine Lab and zero emission shipping innovator Plymouth City College. This project will undertake a real-world demonstrator of Oshen's ocean monitoring system to improve weather, wind and wave data accuracy to influ...

C-BLUES will significantly advance knowledge and understanding of blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) seagrasses, tidal marshes, mangroves, macroalgae, and macroalgae mariculture aiming to achieve three overarching objectives: 1) develop new scientific knowledge within BCEs to reduce scientific uncertainty and improve reporting of blue carbon under the United N...

LandSeaLot will link together in situ, model and earth observations (EO) and connect related communities, citizens and initiatives such as Copernicus, ESA, EEA, GEOSS, EMODnet and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. These observations will be used in a gap analysis to co-design a common land-sea interface observation strategy and an implementation pla...

REDRESS aims to provide a key contribution to the EU commitments towards restoring degraded ecosystems, especially in the deep sea. REDRESS will provide solutions to prioritize future restoration actions, extend deep-sea restoration to previously neglected habitat types, and demonstrate the feasibility, potential, and value for success of deep-sea ecosyst...

Recent decades have seen dramatic increases in our understanding of Light and Noise Pollution (LNP) impacts on aquatic biodiversity. These impacts are globally widespread and occurring in all aquatic ecosystems from lakes and rivers to the seafloor. A variety of technologies and policy interventions are also now available to mitigate LNP impacts in aquati...

ProBleu will expand and support the Network of European Blue Schools, attract a wide diversity of new members, improve ocean and water literacy across school communities, and contribute to the objectives of the Mission, in particular (1) to protect marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, and (2) to prevent and eliminate pollution. ProBleu recog...

Traditional morphological or image-based classification of marine taxa is time-consuming, requires specialist knowledge and is near impossible for certain life forms (e.g. fish eggs). An alternative approach that has lately received a great deal of interest is the use of so-called environmental DNA or 'eDNA'; the DNA signature that animals leave behind ei...
