Start year 2011 End year 2013 Funding (€) € 118,342 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900644/ Summary The proposed strategy plan involves a long-term investment, where coordination between public administration, the policy instruments, R&D and business development will be crucial. The strategy plan is based on a triple helix model, where business development is coordinated with R&D and public administration in an innovation and business system. Important aspects are: 1) Coordination between the authorities' own institutions that are responsible for administration, R&D and commercial business development; 2) Fragmented investment will take longer, and overall require greater public and private resources. The report points to areas where the administration and the legal framework are currently not adapted to catch-based aquaculture with sea urchins. Concrete changes have been proposed in regulations and regulations that can facilitate a successful new venture. The main goal is defined as the establishment of a sustainable and commercial utilization of the sea urchin resource within 10 years. The key element that must be in place to achieve this goal is to establish a strategic company, with a high proportion of public funding during the development period. The strategic company will establish and operate a pilot or reference facility that will be responsible for solving the most pressing technological problems with capture, feeding and further processing. The pilot must realize profitable operation as quickly as possible. Once this goal is reached, ownership should be gradually transferred to private investors. If the authorities do not want to implement a coordinated industrial investment in the commercial production of sea urchins, at least not in the first instance, the problem of facilitating regrowth in kelp forests in areas that have been grazed remains. This can be achieved through pure destruction of sea urchins. Such a strategy must also be knowledge-based, and management-related knowledge must be developed through various research projects. There is an immediate need for a monitoring program to monitor the development of the sea urchin population and the interaction between sea urchins and kelp forests.
