Resumo

SISdATA is working on a new information system to support aquaculture in the Atlantic Area. Partners are building on an existing platform, but the current one cannot predict specific flow conditions in and around aquaculture farms. The new platform will use information from sources like satellites and local water quality sensors. It will also incorporate things like computational fluid dynamics simulations, biochemical models, and data-driven approaches. This will help connect different phenomena happening at various scales.

The plan is to develop and test this new platform in different case studies across the Atlantic Area. The goal is to provide valuable information for the optimal and sustainable operation of aquaculture farms. This includes making them more resilient against extreme weather events and water pollution. The overall aim is to boost the blue economy, which includes aquaculture and related services that rely on good water quality in estuaries and coastal areas, like tourism and water sports.
