SPOTTERON

Interesting call opportunity! If a team is looking for innovative and modern #CitizenScience Apps and Monitoring tools, let us know @ SPOTTERON! :) We are happy to join consortiums or supply projects with privacy-safe and European-centric digital tools.

#EconomíaAzul | La semana pasada se celebró en nuestras instalaciones de Derio la reunión de proyecto de TRANSEATION, organizada por Leire Arantzamendi (AZTI) en colaboración con Centro Tecnológico Naval y del Mar - CTN, coordinador del proyecto. Dos días que dieron mucho de sí y en los que, entre otras cosas, se pusieron en común los avances del proyecto y se establecieron las próximas prioridades, se realizaron talleres y sesiones de intercambio de conocimientos y se exploraron nuevas formas de hacer avanzar las infraestructuras híbridas azul-gris para una gestión costera y marina basada en los #ecosistemas. ¡Muchísimas gracias a todo el equipo!

The TRANSEATION Consortium Meeting has come to a close, and we are grateful for the opportunity to participate, gain valuable insights, and present the #COSEA #CitizenScience App and its potential. A heartfelt thank you to everyone in the TRANSEATION Consortium for an inspiring meeting! 🐟

We are #CitizenScientists! Today, Doris from our team went on a little expedition in the Mediterranean Sea 🌊, exploring the new #CitizenScience App for Marine and Coastal Observation: #COSEA by EFFECTIVE and TRANSEATION. Along the way, she spotted this little crab! 🦀 Learn more about the new App #COSEA on the @SPOTTERON Platform: https://lnkd.in/ets4txn9 https://lnkd.in/ejs2qk56

🌊 Exploring a Regenerative Blue Economy 🌍 During our latest session, Emmanuel Pauwels 🍃 from Green Living Projects presented a compelling discussion on regenerative development and its significance in shaping a sustainable blue economy. 🩵 The session highlighted IUCN’s perspective, emphasizing that a regenerative blue economy is essential because "the ocean and its vital contributions to society are in peril due to the multiple planetary crises." 🌍 🔴 A key takeaway: Regeneration is about moving beyond minimizing harm to actively improving the conditions that sustain life. As Gregory Bateson said, "The major problems of the world are the results of the difference between the way nature works and the way people think." Emmanuel introduced a three-tier rating system for regenerative development: 🍀Tier I – Mindset & Inspiration 🍀Tier II – Practical Guidance & Process 🍀Tier III – Scoring & Verification This framework offers a structured approach to fostering truly regenerative solutions in coastal and marine infrastructure. ⚓ #RegenerativeBlueEconomy #NatureBasedSolutions #CoastalRestoration # #MarineInfrastructures #HorizonEurope #TranseationProject

Time for a Risk Assessment Workshop for Coastal and Offshore Infrastructures? 🌊 🌍 Sure! 💪 As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the resilience of coastal and marine infrastructures, we conducted a systematic risk assessment during our #ConsortiumMeeting to identify key hazards, vulnerabilities, and responses for each demonstrator: 🔹 Breakwater (EcoOcean) 🔹 Offshore Wind Farm (SAITEC, Ocean Ecostructures) 🔹 Low-Trophic Aquaculture (AZTI, GAIKER Technology Centre) This workshop, led by Federica Zennaro and Gea Grassi (CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici), Astrid Sánchez-Jiménez (Leibniz-Institut für Ostseeforschung Warnemünde), and Christian Riisager-Simonsen and Louise Catharina Flensborg (DTU Aqua), provided a structured approach to assessing risks while integrating Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) principles. By understanding the complex interactions between vulnerability, exposure, and hazards, we aim to develop robust frameworks that support sustainable and adaptive solutions. #OffshoreWind #Aquaculture #RenewableEnergy #EcosystemBasedManagement #HorizonEurope #TranseationProject

Spring is here, and the amphibian migration season has begun! In the #CitizenScience App #AmphiApp by AmphiBiom (Universität für Bodenkultur Wien), users can upload sightings and calls of amphibians. This year, the project is part of the #CitizenScienceAward by OeAD-GmbH – Agentur für Bildung und Internationalisierung, where, e.g., school classes can participate in the project and win prizes. Today, we're sharing some great observations from the AmphiApp! Thanks to the Citizen Scientists! The App runs on the @SPOTTERON platform: https://lnkd.in/dyGkggSH Download the App: Android: https://lnkd.in/eQ2ZMn7m. iOS: https://lnkd.in/eyMPFv7x This project is supported by the Biodiversity Fund of the Federal Ministry Republic of Austria, Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology

We’re currently at the TRANSEATION Consortium Meeting in Bilbao, Spain! A big thank you to everyone for the insightful presentations and valuable informations. We were excited to present the #COSEA #CitizenScience App to the consortium in person. Additionally, the new project design created by SPOTTERON and the TRANSEATION dissemination team was presented to the consortium for the first time. 🐟 🌅 Stay tuned—more details coming soon in our next blog post!

Tick... Tock.... Don't miss your chance to apply for the final European Union Prize for #citizenscience! We are looking for outstanding #citisci projects to highlight and support, either through our three awards, consisting of our Grand Prize, the #Digital Communities, and the #Collaboration and #Diversity Awards. Alongside these, we will also present 27 projects with honourary mentions at the 2025 Ars Electronica festival! Only 12 hours left until the call closes, but do not worry there is still time to get your applications in! https://lnkd.in/evtk9ktQ

The TRANSEATION project is setting sail once again! ⛵ This time, our Consortium Meeting will take place in Derio, Biscay (Euskadi, Spain)—a region deeply connected to the sea and innovation in coastal resilience. 🌿⚓ Our partners will come together to exchange insights, push forward groundbreaking solutions, and strengthen our mission: demonstrating the effectiveness of marine and coastal hybrid blue-grey infrastructures to tackle climate challenges. 🌎💙 Stay tuned for more details—we can’t wait to share updates from the heart of the Basque Country! Who’s excited? Drop a 🌊 in the comments! 👇 #TRANSEATION #CoastalResilience #EUfunded #Innovation #SustainableCoasts
