Description

This factsheet presents DUC4: Spatial Planning for Sustainable Mariculture, one of the Demonstrator Use Cases (DUCs) developed within the DTO-BioFlow project. It is intended for aquaculture operators, marine spatial planners, and regulatory agencies seeking evidence-based frameworks for sustainable aquaculture development.

DUC4: Spatial Planning for Sustainable Mariculture integrates environmental, biological, and eDNA data to support site selection, reduce ecological risks, and promote ecosystem-based aquaculture.

The Demonstrator Use Cases (DUCs) are at the core of DTO-BioFlow, showcasing how biodiversity observations, AI models, and the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) can deliver digital solutions for marine sustainability.
