29 de octubre de 2010

The SOCIB Sustainability indicators activities (recently published in Diedrich et al., 2010, Marine Policy, Vol. 34 pp 772–781) were presented by SOCIB Director, Joaquín Tintoré, at the meeting on 'Sostenibilidad y Buenas Prácticas Medioambientales' Maó, 28 de octubre de 2010. In particular he presented the ongoing work being carried out at Menorca Island together with OBSAM, IBESTAT and IMEDEA as a pilot project.



This meeting, organized by the Balearic Economic and Social Council, was a national meeting of the Economic and Social Councils from each Spanish Autonomous Region, in coordination with the Economic and Social Council from
Spain.

It was an excellent opportunity for bi-directional science transfer (from science to society, and from society to science!). This work follows SOCIB Implementation Plan as approved in April 2010 and the objectives outlined at IMEDEA 2010-2013 Strategic Plan. It is a joint contribution between SOCIB-Strategic Issues for Society Division and IMEDEA-TMOOS researchers and engineers.
