Proposal for International Workshop On Open Ocean Aquaculture Engineering.

Tildelt: kr 0,20 mill.

In many parts of the world, researchers independently have identified a need to move marine aquaculture operations from near-shore facilities to more exposed, open ocean sites. This need arises from the growing conflicts among users of the coastal enviro nment. It is recognized by a small group of academic communities internationally that a huge technological gap needs to be filled to make open ocean aquaculture (OOA) economically and environmentally feasible. This group has identified a need to perform the necessary fundamental research that describes these OOA systems so that engineering tools can be developed further and applied appropriately. These tools and techniques, ultimately, will be used to design and evaluate the structural integrity and en vironmental impact of these systems. Over the past few years, a small group of researchers have initiated international collaborative efforts simply to discuss OOA engineering issues. It is expected that this group will be the Key Collaborators in thi s project. These researchers are: -David W. Fredriksson, Ph.D, University of New Hampshire, USA. -Knud Simonsen, Ph.D., University of Faroe Islands, Faroe Islands. -Craig Stevens, Ph.D., National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Wellington, N ew Zealand. -Pål Lader, Ph.D. SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Norway. The goal of the workshop is to determine a fundamental set of methodologies to design and analyze many types of Open Ocean Aquaculture systems and to initiate a program to develop in ternational academic programs in this area. The proposed project is for funding of participation in the organization of the workshop by scientist from SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture (Fredheim, Johansen and Lader).
