Project partners of sustainMare

A total of 28 research institutions with around 280 participants came together at sustainMare to work on the two pilot projects and the five collaborative research projects. Several institutional partners from science and also from public authorities as well as societal partners work together in each project. In addition, many stakeholders are directly or indirectly involved in the work.

More detailed information about the partners can be found on the project websites. The target area of ​​sustainMare is in the German coastal waters and the entire area of ​​the North and Baltic Seas. However, our results will be meaningful far beyond that.
