Exploitable results Exploitable results – World Jellyfish Patent database Result descriptionAs interest in the biology of marine jellyfish grows, a number of jellyfish metabolites with potential health benefits, such as anticancer or antioxidant activities, are increasingly reported. VECTORS has created the World Jellyfish Patents (WJP) database which collates available information on international patents on jellyfish utilization in different fields, such as biological applications, cooking treatments and recipes, pharmacological and cosmetic uses.

Exploitable results – Risk assessment for renewable energy exploitation using BowTie method Result descriptionAssessment of offshore wind farm developments in the North Sea, on the Dogger Bank as an example of an area primed for large scale wind farm development in the near future. It mapped out all aspects related to two undesirable events, including ways of preventing and mitigating risk: 1.The loss of renewable energy resources; ‘ways that climate change can cause the environment to affect the wind farm’; 2.Changes to the environment in terms of the MSFD GEnS indicators; ‘ways that the wind farm can affect the environment'.

Feedback from marine stakeholders was considered throughout the duration of the project in order to produce policy recommendations on governance controls, assessment tools and policy scenario analysis for the key vectors of change associated with fisheries, marine energy and shipping.

Applied to the Baltic Sea region, the Atlantis model was used to explore implications of changes in nutrient regimes (eutrophication). Point source inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus were manipulated under two scenarios of nutrient reduction to investigate indirect consequences elsewhere in the food-web. Simulations resulted in reduced fish production in the region although the magnitude of effects was very small (despite very dramatic reductions in nutrient inputs).

The model proved insensitive to future increases in nutrients discharged to coastal areas, and also relatively insensitive to the projected temperature increase, which for the Strait of Sicily area is on average 0.6°C over the next 50 years, a relatively low increase compared to the rest of the Mediterranean Sea.

The most recent waterborne threat is the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens with ballast water and sediments releases, which may result in harmful effects on the natural environment, human health, property and resources globally. The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments represents a globally uniform framework for the implementation of ballast water management measures, and supporting tools like risk assessment and decision support systems.
