| dc.description.abstract | The health of our oceans is under threat from climate change, ecosystem degradation, and pollution, posing significant risks to global human health and well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the consequences of environmental mismanagement, underscoring the urgency of sustainable practices. This study explores the potential for building environmentally sustainable and regenerative foundations for society, fostering green growth. New ocean farming technologies and algae research hold immense promise across various domains, including health, biomaterials, medicine, ecosystem services, food production, circular economies, global industries, and design applications to name a few. By sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the oceans mitigate climate change, supply food, and support vital economic sectors like tourism and fishing, while nurturing diverse ecosystems. In the pursuit of environmental sustainability, the world needs eco-friendly and sustainable industries like regenerative ocean farming and land-based sustainable agriculture. Additionally, the oceans’ economic value, stemming from their rich biodiversity, underscores their importance. This thesis addresses a critical need for an accessible online platform that consolidates information on ocean-related innovations. The platform aims to inspire individuals to develop solutions, fostering innovation in environmental recovery, healthcare, design, food production, industry, and the ocean economy. By providing an Open Educational Resource (OER) integrated with crowdfunding capabilities, users can learn, share, fund, and innovate, thereby advancing sustainable economic and environmental solutions. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies offer the potential for decentralized governance, increasing user engagement and trust within the platform. The envisioned platform seeks to empower individuals to drive sustainable change and contribute to a healthier planet. | pt_PT |
