interim report

Development

  • The platform is operational
  • Seaweed model is integrated
  • The web interface is under testing / refinement and can launch the models

Analysis:

  • Seaweeds model is operational
  • Shellfish model is implemented and under testing / refinement and will be intergrated soon on the platform
  • Farm model is implemented and under testing / refinement
  • Nutrient availability model is in under testing / refinement . The results simulated on a sub-area will be tested with real data on the whole area
  • Farm optimisation algorithm is under study
  • Net CO2 emission is under testing / refinement and will be integrated soon
  • Impacts on fishing : the methodology is finalised

Production:

  • Preparing digital maps has began and will be integrated soon. Draft of Emodnet maps is available for seaweed growth
  • writing an article will be initiated soon, based on the results of seaweed growth

Uptake

  • Will start soon
