TripleP@Sea: sustainable Profit of the Planet for People

TripleP@Sea: Smart use of marine ecosystem services providing sustainable Profit of the Planet for People. On April 4th, a kick off meeting will be held at Wageningen UR.
TripleP@Sea aims at developing an ecosystem services and marine communities approach in three marine environments that strongly differ in climatological conditions and social context.
Within this Wageningen UR IPOP TripleP@Sea initiative scientists of the research institutes and university will work together with stakeholders on three show cases. PhD projects will be embedded in this cooperation to strengthen the combined effort and output within these themes.
