Sjávareldi, umhverfi, og samfélag

  • Spring 2027
  • Kennarar: Dr. Peter Krost / Dr. Matthias Kokorsch

Um námskeiðið

Á námskeiðinu verður sjónum beint að samspilinu milli sjávareldis og umhverfis með því að rýna í lögmál og hugtök sem tengjast vistfræði sjávareldis. Ólík kerfi sjávareldis og framleiðsluaðferða verða skoðuð. Meginþema námskeiðsins verða umhverfisþættir fiskeldis, þar á meðal fóðrunarvandi, óhefðbundin fóðrun og vistvæna IMTA-nálgun (Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture). Á námskeiðinu verður einnig fjallað um samfélagsleg áhrif fiskeldis.

Kennarar

Dr. Peter Krost:

lives and works in Kiel, situated in the northernmost region of Germany at the coast of the Baltic Sea. Being born in Essen, an industrial city in the middle of Germany, Peter moved to Kiel to study biology and particularly marine biology. He finished his PHD there in 1990, and spent a year as postdoc in Eilat (Israel), studying environmental effects of fish aquaculture.

After that Peter worked as a research assistant at the Kiel Institute for Marine Science (which is called GEOMAR nowadays) and in 1994 he and 3 of his friends started the company CRM (Coastal Research& Management) which was in those days one of the first marine biology companies in the country.

In the beginning we performed environmental impact assessments (which we still do today), some years later we installed the first seaweed farm in German waters of the Baltic Sea. The Algae are used for the production of a very healthy and bioactive extract that is suitable as an active ingredient in cosmetics. The seaweed farm evolved into a polytrophic farm by the addition of a blue mussel component in the year 2010-2013.

As the cosmetic sales picked up, they started a new company, oceanBASISLTD, which today produces and sells marine extracts, cosmetics and foodstuffs worldwide.

My personal main interest is the development of sustainable forms of aquaculture, because I think that we need to have a better alternative to simply exploiting the marine resources. In Kiel we are trying different forms of extractive aquaculture and combinations leading to IMTA approaches. IMTAis fascinating concept, which needs to be adapted to the specific regional conditions.

Another ambition of Peter's is to advise and assist start-ups in the field of sustainable marine bioeconomy. Currently he's a coordinator of a project that will lead to a business accelerator for the aquatic bioeconomy (“AQUATOR”). This project is funded by the Merman Ministry for Research, the consortium encompasses partners from academic institutions and private enterprises.

I have taught the Business Incubator course at the University Center of the Westfjords for a number of years meanwhile. This is a great experience that I enjoy every year! Intense and personalized teaching and learning in a fascinating academic seclusion.

Dr. Matthias Kokorsch:

is a Research Specialist and Project Leader at UW, working on  the projects LostToClimate and ARHAIC.

Regional development, the structural change of communities and socio-economic challenges have always been my major interests. Coming from an old industrial area in Germany where structural change was a living reality, I faced these issues first-hand throughout my childhood and adolescence. I was also always fascinated by the everyday lives of people living in remote places, particularly in the circumpolar regions.
My main current research interests include community resilience, regional development, particularly in sparsely populated regions, structural changes of old-industrial areas, and resource management in combination with aspects of justice and decision-making processes.
