ECOMARIS Project

ECOMARIS responds to the strategic needs for the devolution of resources from the blue economy in the island territories of the Cooperation Program (Madeira, Açores, Canárias, Cabo Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe).
Cooperation in the eco-systemic application is an opportunity to address common needs with an integrative and innovative perspective to cover gaps in data through innovative methodology and technology and low cost, which allows an increase in the quantity and quality of the data space (objective 1), promoting decision-making based on the best information available, building data and information to analyze possible outcomes and management options for the sustainability of marine resources (objective 2), and developing the mechanisms of transfer of recursos scientific, technological and business, with a view to intelligent specialization, which facilitates the development of a competitive offer of products and services, as well as the reutilization of the manufacturing process not within the scope of the Oceanic Sciences Decade Supported by UNESCO and disseminated by Oceanic Culture (objective 3). A multi-agent approach to beneficiary groups includes blue economic companies, administrations with competencies in the coastal and marine sectors, investigative organisations, educational centres, etc., integrating all the communities in the participating island regions.
