Objective OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTSThis research project will demonstrate the effectiveness of reducing the environmental impacts of organic inputs from intensive mariculture by using biofilter deployments. The objectives relate principally to biofilter use over a pan-European scale that includes the inshore coastal waters of all the project partner states (ie will include fieldwork and experimental conditions relative to the Mediterranean and Red Sea interests of Israel).The project has three inter-related principal objectives:To quantify the validity (effectiveness) of biofilter use in association with mariculture within both economic and environmental frameworks on a pan-European scale.As components of this the project aims to:(i) review the current knowledge base relating to mariculture impacts on a pan-European scale;(ii) appraise current and past biofilter initiatives within Europe and outside Europe and synthesise this previously disparate research; Fields of science agricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesfisheries Programme(s) FP5-LIFE QUALITY - Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002 Topic(s) Data not available Call for proposal 1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme Data not available Coordinator SCOTTISH ASSOCIATION FOR MARINE SCIENCE EU contribution No data Address OBAN United Kingdom See on map Total cost No data Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all INSTITUTE JOZEF STEFAN Slovenia EU contribution No data Address Jamova 39 LJUBLJANA See on map Total cost No data INSTITUTE OF MARINE BIOLOGY OF CRETE Greece EU contribution No data Address Main Port Heraklion HERAKLION See on map Total cost No data ISRAEL OCEANOGRAPHIC AND LIMNOLOGICAL RESEARCH LTD.
