MarES - Changing uses and values of marine ecosystem services

MarES recognizes that global changes in climate and human activities may affect the utilization of marine ecosystem services.

Worldwide marine ecosystem services are under increasing pressure from competing human-usages,such as aquaculture, sea transport, energy production, conservation, fishing and recreation. This interdisciplinary project MarES rooted in economics, with contributions from natural and other social sciences, aims to investigate how global changes in climate and human activities affect the usage and importance of ecosystem services (ES) spatially and across groups of people. Illustrative examples from the north of Norway and the northwestern and southern coasts of Portugal are considered. In particular, four case studies covering economic sectors of present and potential economic importance in the two countries, namely related to aquaculture, marine fishing tourism, mining, sea transport, and oil spills are selected. Based on the results obtained from these comparative studies, this project aims at contributing to improving policy design regarding marine ES both at the Norwegian and EU levels, where expectations regarding Blue Growth and the marine bio-economy are high.

Partners: University of Tromsø,University of Stavanger, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, UiT The Arctic University of Norway

Funded by: Research Council of Norway and Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology.

The Renewable Energy Sources Act: From words to actions

Karl Marx once said that, until now, philosophers limited themselves to interpret the world; however, the goal is to change it. And change is necessary – human beings reached the current state of evolution due to their capacity to adapt and overcome. This article explores climate change, all its associated consequences and potential solutions. Now, it’s our job to act rather than to react.

Integrating climate change in ocean planning

OceanPlan project is a 3-year research project investigating how marine spatial planning can both be affected by and adapt to global climate change.

Great success for whom?

THE CHOICES OF

The local-for-local open innovation platform Nestlé Hatcher

Our first series dedicated to impact in Africa end with this lively and exciting conversation between Professor Filipe Alfaiate and Mr. João Barreto, the Head of Innovation and PMO at Nestle, based in South Africa. They discussed impact journeys, the BOP market in Africa, opportunities and challenges and in particular, a very interesting local-for-local open innovation platform for all in Africa called Nestlé Hatcher that João designed and launched. Good learnings!
