Meet Blue Food's researchers and partners during Almedalen Week
Blue Food's researchers and partners will participate in this year's Almedalen Week as part of the Östersjödagarna collaboration. Those who are on site - or connect to the webcast - will have the opportunity to take part in seminars on, among other things, how offshore wind power and other activities can coexist and how marine biomass, such as reeds and seaweed, can replace peat in agriculture.
Blue mats will be represented in these seminars.
Wednesday, June 26, 16.30-17.15: "Offshore wind energy - multi-use"
What are the synergies and opportunities for co-existence of blue food production, increased biodiversity, security and energy at sea? Is it possible to create multiple benefits simultaneously that benefit both people and the environment? With Fredrik Gröndahl, KTH
Thursday, June 27, 10.00-10.45: How can we create the conditions for more herring and sprat to be landed as food?
The regional commercial herring fishery in the Baltic Sea is facing major challenges. At the same time, signals are being sent about how important fishing is in the event of crisis or war. How can we create the necessary conditions to land more herring for consumption? With Vesa Tschernij, Marine Center Simrishamn, Andreas Pettersson, Gotland County Administrative Board, Mattis Bergquist, Coop and Krishan Kent, Swedish Seafood Federation
Thursday, June 27, 14.30-15.15: "From shore to soil - how can the use of marine biomass save the Baltic Sea?"
Smelly seaweed and overgrown bays are a new challenge. Historically, material from the coast has been used as fertilizer for fields and grazing for animals, which also benefited biodiversity. What can we do to ensure that we once again see marine biomass such as reeds and seaweed as a resource and not as a problem? With Fredrik Gröndahl, KTH, the seminar is moderated by Gunilla Rosenqvist, Uppsala University.
