The document describes a final project presentation about combining wave energy technology from Wave Dragon with offshore seaweed aquaculture by Seaweed Energy Solutions. It discusses the consortium members, including Wave Dragon's experience with wave energy converters and Seaweed Energy Solutions' experience with seaweed cultivation. The presentation outlines plans to start with a pilot project in Wales combining one Wave Dragon unit producing 4MW of energy with an 80 tonne per year seaweed farm, and then expanding to larger commercial projects co-locating multiple Wave Dragon units with larger seaweed farms, demonstrating the economic benefits of the multi-use system approach.
This presentation is a general overview of a floating offshore wind farm. The main goal is to design a semisubmersible platform for 5MW wind turbine. Most relevant marine topics were studied: sizing,stability,seakeeping,mooring,structure,ancillary systems,costs and viability.

Masterclass Our Oceans Challenge / Thursday 23 February 2017Maurice Jansen
The theme of the Masterclass of Thursday 23 February centered around Our Oceans Challenge, a crowdsourcing initiative of a number of leading Dutch maritime and offshore companies and knowledge partners. The aim is to generate as much as feasible ideas towards five major challenges. In two sequential masterclasses, approximately 100 students and young professionals of Rotterdam Mainport University, Netherlands Maritime University and YoungShip Rotterdam engaged in brainstorm sessions leading to concrete ideas. All of these activities were then posted on the online crowdsourcing platform.
World oceans cover roughly 70% of planet and provide thè source of live on Earth. Following the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) the seabed area and its mineral resources are declared as the heritage of mankind. Despite or maybe because of the common right of access to the sea and its resources, our oceans are under pressure. Ecosystems are slow to recover because of exploitation from activities onshore, offshore or from relentless fishery. And yet, it provides for millions and millions of people’s quality of life, employment and existence. Our Oceans Challenge (OOC) believes that despite the challenges, there are opportunities to balance ocean protection with the responsible use and exploitation of ocean space and resources. OOC calls upon the industry to show its responsibility and time to generate breakthrough ideas. The aim is to accelerate innovative and sustainable ideas into viable business.
As an introduction Dr Luc Cuyvers - with his passion for the sea and track record as a documentary maker, author and ocean and marine researcher – provided the audience with an anthology of the issues that he has witnessed in the past 35 to 40 years in his career. Subsequently to Cuyvers’ introduction presentation, Mattijs Bolk, one of the driving forces behind OOC explained how this crowdsourcing initiative started. The ambition is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Living Oceans. Heerema Contractors took this open innovation initiative last year and this year invited other offshore contractors, knowledge partners and launch partners to join. The biggest challenge for the industry is to develop sustainable business models.
With these challenges students and young maritime professionals went along and engaged in creative brainstorming process, facilitated by people from Our Oceans Challenge. The workshop outputs consisted of various rough ideas that were immediately posted on the OOC open innovation platform. Good ideas are taken further in this platform, enriched with the expertise, insights and thoughts of other industry specialists. From the current 111 ideas, the best ideas will be taken into the development phase, and accelerate into ready-to-use business solutions. All students who are active on the platform will be able to follow how these ideas find its ways to a sustainable offshore industry.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

• The combined wave energy and aquaculture farm has a significant better
economy than stand alone solutions (~10% reduction in levelised cost).
• MARIBE has facilitated significantly the exploration of this MUS, and
provided valuable help and contacts for development of this vision
• A WD/SES pilot seems realistic in Welsh waters within a short time frame,
provided that appropriate funding can be obtained.
