Presentations

The OCEANEXT conference brings together key scientists and stakeholders from multi-disciplinary areas of research around the sustainable use of ecosystem services and governance of marine and coastal areas.

The conference themes build around the environmental and societal risks and opportunities for all our coastal and marine activities. Risks and benefits for biodiversity and human health are central topics as are the financial risks for marine and coastal sectors (fisheries and aquaculture, tourism, marine renewable energy, blue growth, pharma- and chemical industries).

Engineering aspects around prevention of submersion and off-shore platforms will be discussed, also in the frame of foresight planning and development of expert systems in support of participative governance for marine spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management.

This conference is hosted by the University of Nantes and coordinated by the directors of the French regional project COSELMAR : Sophie Pardo & Philipp Hess

The conference will be held in English. However during the 3rd day (10 June 2016), round table discussions will be held in french. To ensure the smooth running of round table discussions, interpreters will be present and translation receptors will be distributed.
