HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CCMS: CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF VIBRANT COASTAL AND MARINE STUDIES

Published: Thursday, 09 March 2023

The Center for Coastal and Marine Studies (CCMS) turns 5 on 9 of March 2023! Starting from the modest beginning in 2018 our organisation has grown to nationally and worldwide recognized and well established center. We have accomplished so much, but the best is yet to come!

CCMS was born with the fundamental goal of developing and promoting science, research, knowledge transfer, and innovation technologies in the Black Sea and in the World Ocean by bringing together science, environment, expertise, stakeholders and policy making. Our activities comprise a vast range of coastal and marine research (studies and surveys in the field of modern coastal and marine processes), as well as support to the implementation of the EU coastal and maritime Strategies and Directives (MSP, ICZM, Blue and Circular Economy, Blue Growth, European Green Deal, etc.), by developing scientific basis and providing knowledge and expertise, project participation, networking and consultancy.

CCMS is directly advised by Advisory Committee (AC), which involves seventeen distinguished and outstanding scientists and experts from different institutes, universities and organizations all around the globe (Australia, Belgium, Greece, Columbia, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA and Bulgaria). For more information on AC members explore the section for AC on our webpage: http://www.ccms.bg/en/about-ccms/advisory-committee.

The objective of this study was to identify the main trends and practices for the allocation of marine space for the development of aquaculture across the EU, within the Maritime Spatial Plans (MSPs) produced to date. Based on consultation with EU Member States, the study presents the main enablers, blockers and model practices for the provision of space and water for the establishment of marine aquaculture.
