Demonstrating feasibility and environmental benefits of regenerative ocean farming and boosting algae innovation (Topic 2)
Objective:
This call topic aims to support the development of regenerative ocean farming by proving its feasibility and viability and generating knowledge on the environmental benefits also, where possible, by testing these approaches in connection with marine protected areas. It further aims to promote innovation in algae by supporting the development of, and bringing to market, new algae-based products and services, thus offering new green employment opportunities.
This topic specifically targets the EU Member States, notably in sea basins where regenerative ocean farming is not developed, such as the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
