Questions asked :

• How to reduce the impact of ships on large cetaceans?

• What are the major advances in terms of innovation for ecosystems in the field of maritime transport and other activities at sea?

• How can scientific experiments be translated into operational solutions for ship owners? How to finance these innovations and their dissemination? How can we raise user awareness and commit to a more sustainable use of the marine environment? What are the major challenges for the coming years and what are the needs for innovation?
