Summary
Strategic partnerships in place within EMECO – more partners interested• Netherlands-UK SmartBuoy programme• FerryBox-CPR joint network (North Sea, Channel..)• Cefas-GKSS – FB knowledge transfer• UK-Ireland joint buoy deployment• Cefas – IFREMER satellite validation
EMECO adopted as NOOS project – wider interestBottom-up approach provides immediate multi-national monitoring infrastructureTools for integration and rapid assessment being put in placeStartup funding from Defra secured 18 months
