Blue Bio Database - Database of Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology Projects

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.

Summary	This project is being delivered by researchers in LIT. The co-ordination team consists of Dr Siobhan Moane, Dr Daniel Walsh and Dr Patrick Murray and are supported in administrative capability by Ms Kathleen Leamy. The background and expertise of the co-ordination team, as well as the capabilities of Shannon ABC were key to FP7 funding being awarded. The commercial skills of Shannon ABC, together with a track record in bioactive molecules will provide unique guidance for the BAMMBO project. BAMMBO will provide innovative solutions to overcome existing bottle-necks associated with culturing marine organisms in order to sustainably produce high yields of value-added products for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial sectors. BAMMBO will screen and identify target marine organisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi, sponges, microalgae, macroalgae and yeasts) from diverse global locations for potential as sustainable producers of high-added value molecules (HVAB's). The project will apply analytical methods for the extraction, purification and enrichment of targeted bioactive compounds. A detailed life cycle analysis of the production pathways developed in the project will be undertaken to fully evaluate the sustainability of production of biologically active products from marine organisms. BAMMBO will exploit knowledge and technologies developed during the project and effectively manage their transfer to relevant stakeholders in industry and the research community, as well as to policy-makers.
