MARINE DATA TO SUPPORT AQUACULTURE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC
A workshop by EATiP, Copernicus Marine and EMODnet
October 20th –21st, 2020
Virtual event (on invitation only)
The workshop will explore opportunities and applications for open source marine environmental data to support and innovate the aquaculture sector in the region. The goal is to investigate the feasibility and potential of setting up a collaborative platform with key stakeholders, to develop data products, tools and methodological approaches that can support the implementation of ecosystem based management of aquaculture, based on existing data.
Data centre representatives, Copernicus/EMODnet users, aquaculture producer, technology and service suppliers, coastal authorities, and modelers at regional level will gather at this 2-day regional-focused workshop. A parallel event in the Mediterranean area is planned to be held in 2021.
AQUAFEED OF THE FUTURE – WEBINAR OCTOBER 30TH
The Farm to Fork Strategy aims to reduce the environmental and climate impact of animal production, and to support the ongoing transition towards more sustainable livestock farming. Therefore, the European Commission will facilitate the placing on the market of sustainable and innovative feed additives. EATiP acknowledges the limitations on specific resource supplies for compound feeds. In addition to contributing to the sustainability of the sector, it is critical that alternative feed ingredients should not reduce the dietary and health attributes of the final product. The aim of this webinar is to show the potential of new ingredients for aquafeed, to highlight innovations in the use of algae, insects and single-cell proteins as promising feed ingredients and to stimulate discussions and potential project collaboration among attendants.
The forum is organised in collaboration with the EU funded project AQUAEXCEL2020.
