DCU WATER RESEARCH PROJECT PROJECT TITLE: MARIABOX: Marine environmental in situ assessment and monitoring toolbox 2014-2018 FUNDED BY: 7th Framework Programme (FP7), Ocean of Tomorrow 201 PROJECT PARTNERS: Project Coordinator CNE Research and Innovation Center, Cyprus Cyprus - Department of Fisheries and Marine Research SIGNALGENERIX LTD Ireland - Smartbay, Dublin City University Italy - Kontor 46 di Bonasso Matteo s.a.s., National Research Council, University of Naples Federico II Norway - Norwegian Institute for Water Research Spain - Acorde Technologies, Catalonian Research and Innovation Centre, Spanish national research council. United Kingdom - Holloway Immunology Ltd LEAD PI NAME: RESEARCHER: Prof. Fiona Regan Dr. Caroline Murphy PROJECT SUMMARY: Due to growing concerns about the health of the oceans and their capacity to continue to provide resources as well as associated risks to the human health, there is an increasing demand for real-time monitoring of the environmental status of marine water quality and the provision of early warning systems. Real- time in situ monitoring of marine chemical contaminants (including man-made pollutants and algal toxins) is of utmost importance for the sustainable management and exploitation of the sea. MariaBox will develop a wireless, portable marine environment analysis device, based on novel biosensors of high-sensitivity, capable of repeating measurements over a long time for monitoring chemical and biological pollutants. Another key objective of MariaBox is to prepare a cost effective solution to be exploited commercially. The device design will be optimized in cost, size, and power consumption to offer a suitable solution for large-scale production by the SMEs.
