ARCFISH strengthens links with CODEBLUE
ARCFISH team member, Marie Maar from Aarhus University joined the General Assembly of the CodeBlue project recently, hosted by the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.
The meeting provided an opportunity to share ARCFISH's work on developing a Digital Twin of the Ocean for sustainable Arctic fisheries and explore common interests between the two projects, both funded through the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP).
Marie presented ARCFISH's application in Greenland's Disko Bay, where ecosystem modelling and ocean observations are combined to better understand how changing environmental conditions affect northern shrimp populations and support sustainable fisheries management.
ARCFISH and CODEBLUE share an interest in harnessing ocean data, modelling and digital innovation to strengthen evidence-based decision-making through a Digital Twin of the Ocean. Their complementary approaches highlight the potential of digital ocean technologies to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient Blue Economy.
The exchange also provided an opportunity to strengthen connections between SBEP-funded projects and identify potential synergies in advancing digital solutions for marine management.
CodeBlue is coordinated by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). The project aims to improve the management of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea and North-East Atlantic by developing harmonised ocean datasets and digital twin tools to assess the combined impacts of climate change and nutrient pollution, supporting evidence-based decision-making and a more sustainable Blue Economy, including fisheries, aquaculture and tourism.
