About the Project:
ULTFARMS is a pioneering Horizon Europe Ocean Mission project with a vision to revolutionize Low-Trophic Aquaculture (LTA) systems. Its mission is to optimize LTA production within challenging offshore conditions and low-salinity environments. By integrating innovative engineering, technical, ecological, and biological processes, ULTFARMS aims to establish a profitable, sustainable, and ecologically sound production chain of low-trophic level species—seaweed and molluscs—in offshore wind farms situated in the North Sea and Baltic Sea.
Led by Deltares, an esteemed independent institute for water and subsurface research based in the Netherlands, ULTFARMS is a 42-month endeavor that commenced on January 1st, 2023, and will conclude on June 30th, 2026. Our consortium boasts 25 members spanning 9 countries, including stakeholders representing the value chains of offshore wind farms and low-trophic aquaculture.
