/ SO 1.1
Innovative exploitation of Adriatic Reefs in order to strengthen blue economy
START DATE
01.12.2018
END DATE
30.05.2021
TOTAL BUDGET
€ 2.814.830
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
- To enhance the potential of Adriatic reefs to increase blue economy and so employability
- ADRIREEF is expected to contribute to the definition of the most appropriate monitoring methodologies of Adriatic reefs. Innovative integrated monitoring systems of abiotic and biotic descriptors through the use of technologies with low environmental inpact will be evaluated and tested during the project implementation.
- To draft recommendations and guidelines for a sustainable exploitation of Adriatic reefsADRIREEF is expected to contribute in increasing the employability of Italian and Croatian citizens through the Blue Growth. During the project implementation the different business sectors will be explored in order to identify marine areas that can be utilized for economic scope.Employability is a key asset for the development of the cooperation area, and innovative projects have to pursue this objective.
- To test innovative integrated monitoring systems with low environmental impact

ADRIREEF has 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 will also include setting up and testing of suitable technologies with low impact for underwater monitoring. A White paper on the exploitation of Adriatic reefs will also include a specific plan for future funding projects in the forthcoming programming period 2021-2028.
