We recognize that sustainable ocean management requires a deep understanding of the intricate connections between human activities and marine ecosystems. SEADOTs is pioneering the integration of socio-ecological and socio-economic data streams into Digital Ocean Twins (DOTs). By incorporating everything from fishing activities to offshore energy and biodiversity data, our models present a holistic view of oceanic interactions. This integrated approach ensures that social and economic impacts are considered alongside environmental factors, enabling more balanced and informed decision-making.
Planning for our oceans' future requires more than just data; it demands the ability to predict and plan for diverse scenarios. SEADOTs empowers policymakers and marine managers with advanced tools for "what-if" analysis, using state-of-the-art predictive models. Our DOTs can simulate how different strategies—such as expanding marine protected areas or developing offshore wind farms—will affect the ocean's ecological balance and socio-economic landscape. By visualizing outcomes before implementing them, stakeholders can make informed, sustainable choices that minimize risks and maximize benefits for communities and ecosystems alike.
To truly make a difference, we are testing our solutions in three ecologically and economically significant regions: the Norwegian North Sea, the Southern North Sea, and the Baltic Sea. Each region faces unique challenges, from balancing energy production and fisheries to mitigating climate change impacts on marine habitats. SEADOTs will showcase how Digital Ocean Twins can be tailored to address these challenges, providing clear, evidence-based pathways for sustainable management. By focusing on real-world applications, our project demonstrates the tangible benefits of our technology and methodology, setting the stage for widespread adoption across Europe and beyond.
We understand that lasting change comes from collaboration. SEADOTs brings together scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and local communities to co-create solutions that are both effective and equitable. Our approach emphasizes active engagement, ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard and incorporated into the decision-making process. Additionally, our findings will contribute to the development of informed marine policies. By generating policy briefs and recommendations grounded in robust data and interdisciplinary research, SEADOTs will influence future ocean governance, helping to ensure that marine resources are managed sustainably and equitably for generations to come.
Through these strategic objectives, SEADOTs is committed to advancing a new era of ocean management—one that is innovative, inclusive, and deeply rooted in science. By leveraging the power of Digital Ocean Twins and fostering a collaborative spirit, we aim to protect our marine ecosystems, support sustainable economic activities, and enhance the well-being of coastal communities across Europe and beyond. Join us in shaping a future where our oceans thrive, both ecologically and economically.
