Final samples of seaweed and mussels have been taken from this year’s harvest.
The samples will be tested for environmentally harmful substances and shipped before the end of June.
The site was further prepared for decommissioning with all the longlines removed. This was proceeded with the anchor lines and blocks, which were removed also towards the end of June –where also a final biodiversity survey (eDNA) was conducted- This work concludes the field work at site B.
Partners will now be working on data analysis and publication strategy (some of the latter in cooperation with the Danish ULTFARM sites).
Our Danish partners have been involved in a lot of outreach events, showcasing the project outputs alongside the Wind at Sea game, which has proved to be an engaging tool for the community and wider public.
Smag på havet/ Taste the Ocean will run at the, Kattegatcentret, Grenaa, DK this summer, inviting people “ to experience a true taste of the ocean! For six weeks, every day, visitors can enjoy a freshly grilled mussel with seaweed and a crispy seaweed chip. It’s a small bite of the sea and an introduction to the many edible treasures found beneath the waves.”
Our OLAMUR partners at the Danish pilot site have been actively participating in various events to showcase the ongoing developments at Kriegers Flak involving the participation of stakeholders and the wider community.
The events have been primarily aimed at highlighting the innovative multi-use concepts at the pilot site, while celebrating the successful seaweed harvest at the Klintholm site, in collaboration with our industry partner, Vattenfall.
