SEAVIEWS, “SEctor Adaptive Virtual Early Warning System for Marine Pollution” is a 30 months (April 2020-September 2022) project funded by Interreg ADRION Programme. The SEAVIEWS project will bring together stakeholders from 6 partner states; namely Greece, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy and Slovenia. The first output of the project refers to the development of a transnational repository network that will receive, store and analyse data about the sea water quality from a network of smart sensors allocated in critical points. Big data analytics tools will be incorporated making this an innovative virtual early warning system for preventing and managing the marine pollution from various sources. Within this network will be marine pollution hubs are proposed. These digital labs will be established and will be used as channels, so information, data analysis and research results to be circulated to the broader society. The second output is targeting to the amendment of the macroregional action plan. Through the engagement of the national and regional authorities, the ultimate goal of the SEAVIEWS is to strengthen the marine environmental protection by implementing tools such as the big data for enhancing the marine environmental protection.

Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
