The implementation of new technologies, tools and scientific research in the marine ecosystem and coasts can help us maintain the well-being of the areas. Tracking contamination in the sea, monitoring sea-level rise and temperature, installing renewable energy infrastructure, defining marine protected areas (MPAs), among others can have a positive impact on decision-making and the resources extracted from the sea. This session gathers some successful stories on how these tools and technologies can offer opportunities to improve human activities and safeguard ecosystems.

The Blue Economy transforms innovations into novel business models. How to communicate underwater using ultrasound. How to remove microplastics from seawater like our lungs extract CO2 from our blood. How to produce hydrogen from seawater at a third of the cost. How to forecast the weather measuring water density. How to capture wind power at altitudes using robotics and AI securing baseload power... are only a few of the breakthroughs that are the basis of a portfolio of new business models that can very turn into the industries of the 21st century.

Economy and sustainability can be balanced, and should be balanced, and it is now being defined under the blue economy approach. Thanks to new synergies, innovation, investment, research and new skills, economic activities with a reduced ecological damage coexist in coastal areas. How are coastal cities growing the blue economy? What are the current opportunities? How can cities prepare and educate? What are the impacts on climate change, circularity and infrastructure?

Cities around the world are already urging the necessity of tackling the effects of the climate emergency. Coastal areas are even more vulnerable as their damages are evident: rising sea levels and temperature, acidification, plastic pollution, etc. What are the most urgent challenges we are facing? How can coastal cities become resilient? What will it take? What is the role citizens play? This session aims to answer these and more questions by combining ecology, scientific understanding and awareness efforts to make society become part of the solution through education and engagement.
