05.05.2014 – Notes from the project meeting in Piran
Type: project meeting
The Third Steering Committee meeting was organized in Piran on 20-21 March 2014 at the premises of the Marine Biology Station. During the meeting, the consortium assessed the overall project performance and discussed important issues like the finalization of the ATLAS, the vulnerability maps and the new scenarios for the exercises.
At this regard, the management board approved the proposal of implementing 3 interregional exercises in 3 Adriatic areas: the first one based in Zadar, with the participation of the other Croatian Counties Operational Centre, Marche Region and the Apulia Region); the second one, to be organized in the coastal border between Marche and Emilia-Romagna Region); the third one, to be organized nearby the Apulian costs and including also an oil spill virtual projection towards Albania and Montenegro in the following 48 hours). This kind of scenario, approved by the SC, consider the juridical constrains to a larger exercise, the demanding cooperative approach; the requirements of the application form, the pragmatism and the need of testing the ATLAS potential.

In particular, REMPEC, in the person of Gabino Gonzales, introduced the partnership to the objectives of MEDESS-4MS project and the possible synergies between HAZADR Project and other existing systems and databases owned or known by REMPEC. Alongside, the CMCC - Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change, in the person of Svitlana Liubartseva presented the AFS/MEDSLIK-II oil spill forecasting and hazard mapping services. Rita Lecci presented the Adriatic Forecasting System. All these issues will be a matter of a Memorandum of Understanding.
Having regard to the regional oil-spill detection programmes, all partners involved gave a short introduction about the actions to be developed in the concerned regions and counties. 
Most of the partners will purchase response equipment like dispersants, ocean booms, skimmers etc.. while Marche Region develops a specific programme with the fisherman, that get equipped with smartphones to take photo of toxic / oil waves.
During the meeting, the first scenarios for exercises and simulations in Northern and Southern Adriatic were presented by Apulia Region
The County of Primorje and Gorski Kotar presents the preliminary inputs towards the creation of the Adriatic Training and Research Centre. The mission of a Training and Research Centre is to facilitate proactive problem-driven research and training on the topics related to combating, pollution of the sea by oil, hazardous and noxious substances in Adriatic region. The „philosophy of the educational packages“ will be in line with the trainings provided by CEDRE and REMPEC.
