let's learn
more about
the ocean
Why should
you care
What happens with our oceans immensely impacts our future quality of life. Did you know, for example, that the oceans produces at least half of the oxygen we breathe? And that’s just one of the many functions that help our species to survive on this planet. For a sustainable future economy, we need to use marine resources and still do a better job protecting and restoring this ecosystem. And that job is a lot easier if we know more about the oceans – through research, and through spreading existing knowledge to more people, like you!

What is
ISSS?
The Innovation Platform Sustainable Sea and Ocean Solutions ISSS combines the maritime technology research competencies of ten European Research and Technology organisations.
Our goal is to develop innovative solutions that enable a sustainable use of the oceans and help to protect and restore the marine ecosystem.
OUR
MISSION
Our mission is the responsible utilization of our oceans to harness their potential and to create more value and more jobs in the European Blue Economy.
We work towards this goal by creating innovative solutions, by combining our forces for a more efficient and effective research, and by teaching others about the importance of marine resources and ecosystems for a sutainable future of Europe.
