Mitigating Ship Strikes and Enhancing Carbon Sequestration in the Atlantic

Dates: 2024–2026

As of January 2024, I am involved in the InterReg Atlantic Area project “Atlantic Whale Deal: Mitigating Ship Strikes and Enhancing Carbon Sequestration in the Atlantic”, co-leading the Work PAckage “Risk Maps and Acoustic Contamination Assessment”, where we will map the collision risk over the north-east Atlantic area based on whales’ favorable habitats and shiping lanes. The WP will also involve a direct modelling of the collision probability as to better understand the process and predict the effectiveness of various mitigation measures (e.g. reducing ship speed).
