With the DTOcean software at an important stage in its development, the first of two training workshops foreseen by the project was organised on 5 May 2015, in Glasgow, alongside the All-Energy conference. The workshop was organised with the following goals in mind: validate decisions taken to date with industry stakeholders; generate feedback which will further align the tool with industry needs; and promote the DTOcean tool and enhance its eventual uptake as a result

This document collects the main guidelines, standards and procedures applicable to the implementation of the tools and modules in the DTOcean+ suite.

This report collates the materials used throughout the DTOceanPlus project on knowledge exchange and training.

This report focuses on two important parameters for biofouling image analysis: the artificial light and the distance to the structure. The first section presents the available tool that was already deployed in several studies in link with industrial needs (O’Byrne et al., 2018c) and the laboratory equipment. Section 2 focuses on the automatic segmentation algorithm and the indicators of quality of assessments. Finally section 3 introduces configurations that were tested and the key results.

This document is the first annual report on dissemination and communication activities regarding DTOceanPlus project.

Proposal of protocols for measuring several biofouling variables (fresh weight in air, fresh weight in water, biovolume, thickness) that were tested during the project.

Review to identify the state of knowledge on anodes and their environmental impact. Report serving as a basis for further work (deliverables 3 and 4)

Database of images collected at ABIOP monitoring sites (UTLN = Mola buoy offshore Banyuls, SEMREV = special marks east and north, UN = biocolmar buoy) + report on biofouling characterisation (rapport_taxo_ABIOP_provisoire)

The present document refines the previous version submitted in October 2019, updates the initial assumptions, and depicts more clearly the exploitation routes and actions to reduce risks.

This report is the outcome of a feasibility and cost-benefit analysis. The aim of this task was to conduct an economic feasibility and cost-benefit analysis, to assess the technologies and funding frameworks to support attractive business cases for both public and private funders.
