The available database comprises research projects in Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology active in the time period 2003-2022.
BlueBio is an ERA-NET COFUND created to directly identify new and improve existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.

Marine biodiversity is fundamental to support marine ecosystem function and also supports economically important activities in Norway (e.g. fisheries and aquaculture). Multiple pressures are exerted on the marine ecosystem that thereby affect the status of marine biodiversity and impact human welfare, (e.g. the effect of Non Indigenous Species, eutrophication and the effect of fisheries harvesting). Furthermore, marine biodiversity is also subject to global drivers, such as increase temperatures and decrease pH from climate change. Knowledge derived from the project will support integrated ecosystem-based management of the oceans and coastal areas, in accordance with Norwegian policy, e.g. the Marine Resources Act of Norway (2009), and further inform the North Sea management plan (http://www.klif.no/no/english/english/Whats-new/We-must-take-care-of-the-North-Sea-and-Skagerrak/). The project will develop functional and cost effective marine biodiversity indicators and tools for the assessment of environmental status and ecological status, which are necessary for the implementation by Norway of OSPAR and the WFD in coastal waters. Such environmental quality measures and indicators are necessary to enable a precautionary principle for sustainable ecosystem management of marine resources. The project will also explore eco-innovation solutions such as the co-benefits of aquaculture further down the food chain, (e.g. of filter-feeding bivalves for the production of food, aquaculture feed and mitigation of eutrophication).
