FundPriority 1.2: InnoAquaTech
The „InnoAquaTech - cross-border development and
transfer of innovative and sustainable aquaculture“
project brings together 20 partners from research and
technology & development, as well as associated partners
from four South Baltic states (Lithuania, Poland, Germany
and Denmark) with the aim of promoting the further
development and transfer of knowledge in the field of
innovative sustainable aquaculture technologies in the
South Baltic region.
In Germany, one dedicates to aquaponics, a resource-
conserving combination of aquaculture with the
production of plants. The combination of aquaculture
with the rearing of micro-algae is the focus of attention
in Denmark. In Poland, possibilities for the production of
shrimp in recirculation aquaculture systems are explored,
while in Lithuania the researchers investigate how excess
waste heat from geothermal power plants can be used for
aquaculture.

Other research areas are the quality of the fish and
plant production, the animal welfare in aquaponics,
the production safety (prevention of harmful germs)
and the reduction fertilizer consumption. Finally, it
has to be proved that the aquaponic production in
Germany, especially in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
can also be economically viable.
In order to enhance the applicability of new
technologies in aquaculture and aquaponics, a
web-based interactive decision support tool is
being developed at the University of Rostock within
the framework of the InnoAquaTech project, with
which interested parties can obtain an overview
of the advantages and disadvantages of different
production technologies.

FundPriority 1.2: InnoAquaTech
The Blue Growth Agenda of the European Commission for
the Baltic Sea Region identifies aquaculture as one of the
most promising sectors of the region’s maritime economy
in terms of growth and job potential. In the South Baltic
area, however, aquaculture is not a widely established
sector yet. There is a clear territorial disparity in introducing
innovative and environmentally friendly production
technologies that could help to create added-value and
increase the sector’s international competitiveness.
InnoAquaTech contributes to the cross-border development
and transfer of such innovative and sustainable aquaculture
technologies and offers SMEs all over the region access
to state-of-the-art technology, know-how, expertise and
financing models. Special emphasis has been given to
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and innovative
combinations of RAS with e.g. plant production (aquaponic
systems) and/or renewable energy.

chance for the South Baltic Region, even outside the
holiday season. It is a new touristic trend and offers a
diversification of coastal tourism with promising market
opportunities. Especially for less developed coastal regions
this new trend can have great implications for regional

The mission of CATCH is to promote recreational angling
through better information, a cross-country marketing

angling associations and fishermen.
CATCH will increase the capability of coastal communities to
establish sustainable angling tourism and deliver improved
measures for touristic providers. All new knowledge will

Along the South Baltic Sea coast line there are many
beautiful places, small coastal fishery harbours, which are
nearly unattended and not touristically utilised. The project
“Fish markets” aims at valorisation of these significant
potentials for further developing the South Baltic region
into a sustainable tourism destination. To attract more
tourists to the region, partners will set up several events
and new offers, e.g. fish markets, fish sales days or fish
season events, especially in spring and autumn, to prolong
the tourism season. Qualification and training courses will
be provided to stakeholders and the project will support
the image- and destination building in the SB area, as an
attractive tourism destination, based on the potential of
small coastal fishery and its heritage. A joint cross-border
marketing strategy and diverse tools will be developed and
implemented to attract tourists and inhabitants to visit the
fishery harbours in the SB area.

The project is focused on two main objectives: 1. Uptake
of a new spill response technology (e.g. BioBind) to train
staff and strengthen existing cross-border spill response
capacities. 2. Awareness rising in different administrational
levels and the public regarding oil spill response in the
South Baltic area.
The uptake will be carried out through a joint purchase
of the individual technical components of the system and
three different types of training: (1) Practical trainings on
the actual handling of the gear, (2) nautical simulations
on seaborne recovery and (3) a custom made Table Top

South Baltic region. They should serve as examples of
best practice in order to guarantee the widest possible
adaptation in the long term. Therefore, the project
analyzes the current preconditions (flows, type of goods,
stakeholders, guidelines, etc.) and develops a joint low
carbon logistics concept for towns and rural areas. In its
last stage, the project will start the active implementation
of the determined measures and solutions.
The whole process is designed to be continued after the
project towards a holistic low carbon logistic area. To achieve
this, LCL is accompanied by extensive public acceptance
measures, the development and recommendation of
business models related to low carbon logistics as well
as the creation of an international label for low carbon
logistics institutions. As one outcome of the project, an
international consultancy structure for low carbon logistics

Centre and Plunge Technology and Business School from
Lithuania, University of Szczecin from Poland, CELF from
Denmark and University of Rostock from Germany.
The project BBVET strives for development and piloting

educational programmes within the sectors “Green Media/
EdTech” and “Blue Mechatronics”. This offer intends to
increase the mobility of South Baltic professionals, primarily
focusing VET apprentices as participants of the project, to

One of the most important objectives is the
development and establishment of institutionalised
expertise and network structures to strengthen,
support and organise professional/ occupational
mobility processes for target groups involved in
VET, in particular students in initial VET, participants
in continuing VET, as well as VET educators. These
structures should lead to the establishment of

FundPriority 5: Let‘s do it
The project involves partners from all 5 Baltic Sea Region
countries. Test grounds for schools are provided, school
staff members are encouraged to participate in cross-border
activities/networks. Exchange programmes shall build up
language skills and competences of intercultural learning and
teaching.
A transferable concept for international school cooperation
and methods for joint school exchange workshops on climate
change is developed. This topic has been chosen because
the most difficult challenge for climate protection is to raise
awareness among citizens to change behaviors sustainably.
Let’s Do It! contributes to open up an intercultural dialogue
on climate change impact and climate protection efforts with
other youngsters.
Teacher training seminars shall enable teachers to use the
methods in class room projects during the term of Let’s Do It!,
but also far beyond.
Testing environmental education by creative methods will
boost skills and awareness significantly. The results will be long-
lasting relations to other schools by working internationally
and creating a routine in organising international school
projects.

exploit the attractions’ potential in low season and for
international guests. Led by the University of Szczecin, the
project will develop tours for the visitors’ smartphones

At the end of JOHANN private cruise lines will operate SCS

but hardly ever leave the main routes of established larger
ports. Through joint activities & supported from external

of the existing potentials to develop & implement heritage

The innovation of the approach lies in the comprehensive

to better exploit economic potentials of arriving cruise
