ABOUT OUR PROJECT

Driving Sustainable Change with MACRO CLEAN

The MACRO CLEAN project is a collaborative initiative involving partners; Sinop University and Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU) from Turkey, Batumi State University from Georgia and Shumen University from Bulgaria. The project focuses on researching and establishing pilot implementations for the economic utilization of macroalgae while preventing and mitigating the impact of human activities on eutrophication and macroalgae blooms in the Black Sea region. The overall objective of the project is to develop a comprehensive research methodology for studying macroalgae, enhance laboratory infrastructure, develop feasibility plans for macroalgae utilization, raise awareness among stakeholders and promote collaboration and innovative cleaning processes and technologies. The project aims to bring about a positive change in the current situation by contributing to the economic utilization of macroalgae, mitigating the impact of eutrophication and promoting sustainable resource utilization in the Black Sea region.

This transnational effort aims to foster a healthier marine environment and unlock new sustainable resources.
