CIIMAR is attending to the Oceans Meeting and Oceans Business 2018 taking place in Lisbon between the 18th and 20th of September.

The core theme of the Oceans Meeting 2018 is “Blue Circular Economy, Science, Green Shipping and Port Tech Clusters” and enhances the ocean as a common opportunity for our future reinforcing the importance of a global blue economy recently reaffirmed by the international community.

The OCEANS business fosters the networking and debate around sustainable ocean business solutions in all important key areas as fisheries, biotechnology, aquaculture, environmental monitoring and protection as well as tourism and maritime security.

The main use of ocean’s resources is expected to grow at twice the rate of the mainstream economy by 2030 which makes it imperative to discuss common international policies for the Ocean.
