VEPOSSSS Meeting 2023
The first VEPOSSSS face-2-face meeting will take place on 12 and 13 September 2023 at the Marine Centre Wales in Menai Bridge, UK.
The topic of the meeting is:
Shelf Seas: Threats, Opportunities, and Challenges
There are many competing factors which will determine the future health of the continental shelf seas in a warming world. They are economically important both in terms of major fisheries and wind energy capture. They also represent a key component of the global carbon cycle, linking the terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric carbon pools, and in consequence provide a valuable blue carbon store. A key pathway to NetZero involves the wide-scale expansion of offshore wind to floating platforms in the wildlife rich seasonally stratified seas, with consequences which are only starting to be appreciated.
The aim of this meeting is to examine the threats and opportunities to shelf seas and identify key knowledge gaps in physical oceanography which need to be filled to ensure the sustainable development of these valuable resources.
