Second workshop "Bivalve aquaculture in the Baltic Sea – environment, climate change, modelling"
After a start-up workshop about mussel cultivation in Warnemünde this June, a follow-up meeting was organised by CRM (Coastal Research & Management) in Kiel in context of the project RAdOst on the 12th July 2011. Scientists and practitioners were exchanging experiences in mussel cultivation und discussing possible future developments, following the talk in Warnemünde. Additionally, a visit to the mussel farm of CRM was offered. The Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde presented its model, which, inter alia, estimates potential effects of mussel cultivation on aquatic eco-systems and displays nutrient cycles. Joint measurement campaigns were planned to validate the model and get a better understanding of what happens in and around a mussel farm. Finally, all participants agreed that cooperation should go on after the workshops in Warnemünde and Kiel, therefore a “Baltic Mussel Network” was founded.
