Start year 2018 End year 2021 Funding (€) € 2,814,830 Website https://keep.eu/projects/23084/Innovative-exploitation-of--EN/ Summary "ADRIREEF had the ambition to combine innovative actions related to natural and artificial Adriatic reefs with possible socio- economic impacts originated from activities such as aquaculture and tourism, two sectors of Blue Economy. As the success of activities strongly depends on the structural and ecological performance of the reefs (both natural and artificial), the project also included setting up and testing of suitable technologies with low impact for underwater monitoring.
ADRIREEF has produced several outputs:
(a) Mapping of of current reefs in the Adriatic Sea and their classification;
(b) identification of available technology and instruments with a low environment impact for marine ecosystem underwater monitoring;
(c) identification of marine areas that can be utilized for economic scope (e.g. diving, aquaculture, fishing);
(d) guidelines for stakeholders and code of conduct in touristic sector;
(e) a White paper for a sustainable exploitation of reefs in blue economy sector."
