The Future

In 1980 work began on one of the most intensive and comprehensive marine research and development projects—the German Ship of the Future. The main task was the reduction of the operational costs of a vessel. After five years of work the project was successfully finished with the maiden voyage of the first SdZ prototype ship. The paper describes first the R&D project itself. The organizational structure, the financial background and some examples of development topics are explained. The second part deals with the conversion of the outcomes of the R&D project into the reality of a containership. The third part gives, by example of some focal points of the newly developed ship service technique, a broad description of the HDW-SdZ prototype ships and their economy. A short outlook to further developments concludes the paper.

Biogeokimia sebagai ilmu sistem merupakan bidang yang relatif baru di Indonesia, jadi proyeksi kedepan perlu dilakukan untuk riset di bidang kelautan. Tujuan dari kajian ini adalah untuk memilah tren penelitian di bidang biogeokimia sekaligus menentukan kesempatan penelitian biogeokimia kelautan di Indonesia di masa yang akan datang. Analisis bibliometrik dipergunakan dalam kajian ini dengan basis data sitasi publikasi ilmiah sebagai sumber data utama. Kata kunci 'marine biogeochemistry' dipakai untuk memilah basis data secara otomatis. Analisis lanjutan yang lebih detil dilakukan pada publikasi pada tahun 2011-2013. Selain itu, data mengenai tema penelitian oseanografi pada Pusat Penelitian Oseanografi dan Badan Penelitian dan Observasi Kelautan. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut, prediksi tema riset biogeokimia kelautan di Indonesia dapat dilakukan. Topik yang mungkin menjadi riset kedepan adalah: efek pemanasan global terhadap mangrove dan terumbu karang, efek pengasaman air laut terhadap produksi primer atau organisme bentik, pergeseran distribusi spesies, peran biogeokimia spesies tertentu pada transfer materi organik. Sebagai bidang ilmu yang relatif baru, biogeokimia dapat menjadi bagian esensial pada berbagai kajian komprehensif pada ilmu kelautan, khususnya pada tema yang signifikan seperti perubahan iklim global dan pengasaman air laut. Kata kunci: bibliometri, biogeokimia kelautan, tren, global, proyeksi Biogeochemistry as the science system is relatively new field in Indonesia, therefore, projection is needed for the future research in marine science. The objectives of this study are to specify the trends in biogeochemistry research topics and to determine the opportunities for marine biogeochemistry research in Indonesia. Bibliometric analysis was used with citation databases as the main data. The keyword ‘marine biogeochemistry’ was used to sort the database. We conducted the further analysis mostly in publications from 2011-2013. The data about research themes related to oceanography in Indonesia were collected from Research Center for Oceanography and Institute for Marine Research and Observation). On the basis of the analyses, we tried to predict the likely main themes in marine biogeochemistry in Indonesia in the future. The likely topics are: the effects of global warming on mangroves and coral reefs, the effects of ocean acidification on primary production or benthic organisms, shifts in species distribution, and the biogeochemical role of certain species in organic material transfer.  It is suggested that the relatively new discipline of biogeochemistry must be an essential part of any comprehensive study of marine science, especially in significant areas such as global climate change and ocean acidification.

The Impact

Navigating the Future is a publication series produced by the European Marine Board providing future perspectives on marine science and technology in Europe. Navigating the Future V (NFV) highlights new knowledge obtained since Navigating the Future IV (2013). It is set within the framework of the 2015 Paris Agreement and builds on the scientific basis and recommendations of the IPCC reports. NFV gives recommendations on the science required during the next decade to deliver the ocean we need to support a sustainable future. This will be important for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021 – 2030), the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the European Commission’s next framework programme, Horizon Europe (2021 - 2027). There is a growing need to strengthen the links between marine science, society and policy since we cannot properly manage what we do not know. In recent years, the ocean and seas have received new prominence in international agendas. To secure a safe planet a priority is the management of the ocean as a “common good for humanity”, which requires smarter observations to assess of the state of the ocean and predictions about how it may change in the future. The ocean is a three-dimensional space that needs to be managed over time (thus four-dimensional), and there is a need for management and conservation practices that integrate the structure and function of marine ecosystems in these four dimensions. This includes understanding the dynamic spatial and temporal interplay between ocean physics, chemistry and biology. Multiple stressors including climate change, pollution and over-fishing affect the ocean and we need to better understand and predict their interactions and identify tipping points to decide on management priorities. This should integrate our understanding of land-ocean-atmosphere processes and approaches to reducing impacts. An improved science base is also needed to help predict and minimize the impact of extreme events such as storm surges, heat waves, dynamic sea-floor processes and tsunamis. New technologies, data handling and modelling approaches will help us to observe, understand and manage our use of the four-dimensional ocean and the effect of multiple stressors. Addressing these issues requires a strategic, collective and holistic approach and we need to build a community of sustainability scientists that are able to provide evidence-based support to policy makers within the context of major societal challenges. We outline the new frontiers, gaps and recommendations needed to manage the ocean as a common good and to develop solutions for a sustainable future. The governance of sustainability should be at the core of the marine research agenda through co-production and collaboration with stakeholders to identify priorities. There is need for a fully integrated scientific assessment of resilience strategies, associated trade-offs and underlying ethical concepts for the ocean, which should be incorporated into decision support frameworks that involve stakeholders from the outset. To accurately assess the state of the ocean and make predictions for the future, research programmes should be co-designed with stakeholders. Achieving the ocean we need for a sustainable future by 2030 will require sustainability science, which is holistic and transdisciplinary. To allow the collection, processing and access to all data, a key priority is the development of a business model that ensures the long-term economic sustainability of ocean observations.

n Citizen Science, members of the general public collaborate with scientists to generate and use data relating to the natural world. For the many fields of marine research, this is a particularly powerful approach which should not be overlooked. The sheer scale of coastal and ocean environments mean that it would take several lifetimes for scientists to study them alone. By collaborating with citizens, a much greater number of people can be mobilized to gather a wealth of data and develop new scientific knowledge and understanding. The variety of data types which are amenable to Citizen Science, as outlined in the position paper, are great, meaning that there could be a project to suit everyone. Citizen Science can also enable participants to improve their Ocean Literacy, gain new skills and experiences, and can also empower them to participate in the process of delivering future marine policy.Now, more than ever, marine science research is needed to understand the impacts of a world undergoing change. The rise of Marine Citizen Science to help address this need is therefore timely. This paper highlights opportunities, challenges and best practice in Marine Citizen Science, and sets out a list of high-level strategic recommendations for the future development of Marine Citizen Science in Europe. It presents examples of existing Marine Citizen Science initiatives in Europe to illustrate good practice. Common concerns such as data quality and maintaining engagement are discussed, as are future opportunities such as increased use of technology and potential role of Marine Citizen Science in informing marine policy and conservation. The paper closes with a list of high-level strategic recommendations for the future development of Marine Citizen Science in Europe.
