ReSEAlience Endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Project and Joins the GEOS Programme

We are delighted to announce two major milestones for the ReSEAlience initiative – "Unlocking the Potential of Seaweeds and Halophytes through Biorefinery for Enhanced Resilience in the Aquaculture, Agri-Food and Chemical Industries."

Official Endorsement by the UN Ocean Decade

ReSEAlience has been officially endorsed as a Decade Project under the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030), coordinated by UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). This endorsement recognizes the project's contribution to advancing sustainable ocean-based solutions and fostering innovation in the blue bioeconomy. Through the development of integrated biorefinery approaches for seaweeds and halophytes, ReSEAlience aims to enhance resilience across the aquaculture, agri-food, and chemical sectors while supporting ecosystem sustainability and climate adaptation.

The project is now featured on the official Ocean Decade platform:

ReSEAlience Becomes Part of the GEOS Programme

We are also pleased to announce that ReSEAlience has been formally linked to the Global Ecosystem for Ocean Solutions (GEOS) Programme, one of the endorsed programmes of the UN Ocean Decade. GEOS brings together transformative initiatives that generate science-based solutions to address pressing ocean challenges and accelerate sustainable development. By joining the GEOS network, ReSEAlience will contribute to a global community dedicated to translating research and innovation into practical ocean solutions with societal and environmental impact.

Looking Ahead

The endorsement by the UN Ocean Decade and integration into the GEOS Programme mark important steps in expanding the international visibility and impact of ReSEAlience. We look forward to collaborating with partners across academia, industry, policy, and civil society to unlock the full potential of marine and coastal biomass for a more resilient and sustainable future.

We thank all project partners, collaborators, and stakeholders for their continued support and look forward to sharing future developments

with the Ocean Decade community.
