OCEANIDS

As part of the OCEANIDS project, tools and applications are being developed that provide coastal regions with important information and thus help to strengthen their resilience. These tools focus on Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning and integrated seascape management, all aiming to contribute to a resilient and inclusive Blue Economy. The central concept is to collect, harmonise, and curate existing climate data services, making data accessible, reusable, and interoperable for developing local adaptation strategies.

OCEANIDS aims to grant access to, and transformation of, the already openly available climate data in combination with locally sourced data and information, where available. Relevant information (including climate, socio-economic, and demographic information), services and tools will be tailored to users’ needs.

OCEANIDS is working with several pilot regions across Europe to identify user requirements and demonstrate the tools developed. ISL will analyse the user requirements of maritime logistics in the pilot region of Bremen and the surrounding area through interviews with suitable stakeholders. In addition, ISL will support the validation of the developed tools.

Project objective:

• Development of tools to increase resilience: Tools and applications for coastal regions to promote a resilient blue economy are being developed.
• Harmonisation of climate data services: Existing climate data services will be bundled to make data accessible and interoperable for local adaptation strategies.
• User requirements and validation: User requirements are identified and tools validated in cooperation with pilot regions, e.g. by ISL in the pilot region of Bremen.
