Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs partner on the Project SEAVEWS

Project “SEctor Adaptive Virtual Early Warning System for Marine Pollution” (Project SEAVIEWS) aims at promoting and enhancing the capacity of transnational collaborations tackling environmental vulnerability, fragmentation and the safeguarding of ecosystem services in the wider Adriatic area, by bringing together stakeholders from 6 partner states (Greece, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy and Slovenia). Project SEAVIEWS will develop a transnational repository network that will receive, store and analyse data about the sea water quality in the region using a network of smart sensors allocated in critical points, and support the establishment of digital labs to be used as channels for information, data analysis and research results to be circulated to the general public.

In addition, SEAVIEWS will target to strengthen the regional marine environmental protection by implementing tools such as the use of big data for enhancing the marine environmental protection via the amendment of national and regional strategies.
