The #BalticComplete project has been involved in a new publication:

Are silicone foul-release coatings a viable and environmentally sustainable alternative to biocidal antifouling coatings in the Baltic Sea region?

@emilia_luoma The paper II suggests that biocidal-free coating with a regular in-water cleaning using a capture system is generally the lowest-risk option. By the careful consideration of the hull fouling management #strategy, both money and environment can be saved.

Some aspects of the work carried out by @emilia_luoma in the #BalticComplete project regarding #biofouling #management has now been included in her PhD thesis. In the short story below the link to ther thesis is available. Links to the open access papers in this thread as well.

[Kotka Maritime Research Centre @MerikotkaCentre]

Warmest Congratulations to @emilia_luoma for a successful #PhD #Thesis defence! Many thanks also for the Opponent @NTynkkynen for her thorough work and important points!

📚 KMRC research network's reading recommendation of the week:

"A multi-criteria decision analysis model for #ship #biofouling management in the #BalticSea"

by @emilia_luoma @UHEcoEnvi @helsinkiuni / @MerikotkaCentre & co-authors @BalticComplete.

What else is important? Protecting the Sea from invasive species. E.g. this Flagship project tackled Action 2. "Support research on emerging thematic challenges related to clean shipping and its impact on the environment and wildlife in the Baltic Sea": https://t.co/CiVr66eaQR

[Interreg Baltic Sea Region @InterregBSR]

Ships often bring in invasive species with them in ballast water tanks or ship hulls that threaten native aquatic organisms in #BalticSea.

#MadeWithInterreg project #COMPLETE translated the existing regulations into a working system to prevent that.

Saying good bye to the COMPLET and COMPLETE PLUS, thank you all who contributed to a very successful project, with very relevant outputs
@balticcomplete project, @HELCOMInfo

[Miina Karjalainen @MKarjalai]

It is time for the final meeting of the @balticcomplete project, wrapping up all the work that has been carried out in COMPLETE and COMPLETE PLUS. Intensive and interesting day ahead!

[Interreg Baltic Sea Region @InterregBSR]

To solve a global issue like harmful organisms introduction by #shipping, you need a #transnational team! #MadeWithInterreg @BalticComplete, partners from 7⃣ countries in the #BalticSea cooperated to fight alien species in our sea.

Our new #sykepublication in collaboration with Polish and Latvian colleagues shows the importance of secondary spread and #leisureboat marinas in establishment of #alienspecies @SYKEint @roskaroope @OkkoOutinen @BalticComplete

[COMPLETE & COMPLETE PLUS projects @BalticComplete]

The findings of a new research article produced in #BalticComplete by @OkkoOutinen and colleagues indicate that marinas can occur as significant hot spots for the establishment of non-indigenous fouling assemblages.

Congratulations, this is great news!

@BalticComplete will be happy to further contribute e.g. to the topic 'Non-indigenous species' of #BalticSeaActionPlan by promoting the way forward as indicated in the #biofouling management roadmap.

[HELCOM - the Helsinki Commission @HELCOMInfo]

HELCOM has adopted the updated #BalticSeaActionPlan during its Ministerial Meeting 2021 that was held in Lübeck, Germany, on 20 October 2021. The ambitious plan contains about 200 concrete actions for a #healthyBaltic.

Check out the very short scary movie on hitchhiking alien species! It is made by @BalticComplete project to provide guidance for boaters to prevent the spread of invasive species in the Baltic Sea.

KMRC researchers have published a joint article that explores the management question related to #biofouling of #ships' underwater structures through qualitative decision analysis. The study is one of the numerous outputs from @BalticComplete project.

[COMPLETE & COMPLETE PLUS projects @BalticComplete]

New #BalticComplete publication provides a conceptual influence diagram (CID) revealing how multidimensional the #optimal #biofouling #management in #shipping can be. This paper demonstrates the entanglement of social, ecological and technical aspects.

Welcome to take a look:

[Annukka Lehikoinen @AMLehikoinen]

The latest scientific article from the @MerikotkaCentre research community presents a socio-eco-technical #systems #analysis of #ship.s' #biofouling management. Causal graphical representation of the multi-sectoral multi-objective problem provided!
