🌊 Exciting News: Our project "Data and Scenarios for a Sustainable Mediterranean Blue Economy (MEDSEAPLAN)" has been awarded funding under the EU Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) call. As the coordinator for Bandırma Onyedi Eylül Üniversitesi, I am thrilled to lead this initiative alongside esteemed colleagues Uğur Karadurmuş and Levent Bilgili. We look forward to the final review of our national agencies for the grant agreement! 🚀 The MEDSEAPLAN project, led by the World Ocean Council (Lisa Simone de Grunt), is set to revolutionize Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) over the next 36 months. Our multi-sectoral, multi-actor, and cross-border approach aims to bring about impactful change in sea basin-level MSP development, incorporating advanced data and industry insights. The focus is on creating a more robust, knowledge-based, and data-driven MSP for a sustainable Blue Economy in the Mediterranean Region. 🎉 Additionally, we are thrilled to announce that our project will contribute to the development of offshore wind energy in Türkiye. We will be developing and demonstrating a Lidar-integrated data buoy to collect meteorological and oceanographic data specifically for the burgeoning offshore wind energy sector. This initiative marks a significant step towards harnessing clean and sustainable energy for the future.(Werover, Elkon Elektrik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş, REGBES, Canan Acar, Erdeniz Erol, Mert Doganli, Ali Alkan) 🤝 I extend heartfelt thanks to all collaborators, partners, and stakeholders involved in making this project a reality. Together, we are charting the course for a futureproof and environmentally conscious maritime industry. https://lnkd.in/dqGNBWZh #MEDSEAPLAN #blueeconomy #MSP #sustainabledevelopment #offshorewindenergy #renewableenergy
