No full textInnovation 2020, Ireland’s strategy for research and development, science and technology states that despite the importance of research and innovation for firms, firms under-invest in research. Therefore there is a strong case for the state to encourage firms to undertake research by providing co-investment. However, this investment must be targeted at areas of commercial opportunity that are strategically important. This is the underpinning rationale of Research Prioritisation (2018-2023), which identifies 6 Themes and 14 Priority Areas that present particular market opportunities for Ireland.
The first goal of Harnessing Our Ocean Wealth is “A Thriving Maritime Economy”, which focuses on the marine opportunities to achieve economic recovery with socially inclusive and sustainable growth. The Development Task Force Report developed a strategic framework identifying three interventions to drive growth across five thematic areas and create economic growth opportunities for the marine sector.
In May 2018, the Marine Institute launched the Industry-Led Call, designed to provide funding for SMEs to raise the maturity levels for their research theme across these three dimensions (human capacity, infrastructure and networks & relationships).
The call aims to fulfil national strategic objectives as follows:
National Marine Research and Innovation Strategy 2017-2021 - Implementation of Action 8 Increase opportunities for SMEs to participate in marine research. Innovation 2020 - Action point 2.4 Optimising Enterprise RDI Supports.
The funding aims to:
Support research and innovation costs for the development of innovative technologies, products and services from existing or new marine-based business. Help marine companies to develop capacity, capability and their networks & relationships. Support “novel” marine research that has not previously received funding to create new knowledge or a new product, process or service or to substantially improve existing products, processes or services.Marine Institut
Marine RTDI Measure Interim Report 2000-2002
No full textThe Marine RTDI Measure Programme, developed by the Marine Institute for and on behalf of the Department of Communications, Marine & Natural Resources, is fully consistent with government strategy on marine resource development and builds on and develops the strategies outlined in “A Marine Research, Technology, Development and Innovation Strategy for Ireland – A National Team Approach” (Marine Institute 1998).
The purpose of this Report is two fold. Firstly, consistent with best practice in RTDI management and NDP procedures and guidelines, an independent analysis of progress (Mid–Term Review) in the implementation of Productive Sector Operational Programme will take place in 2003. This Report is designed to summarise and report on activities, achievements and expenditure during the period 2000–2002 and as such, provides an important contribution to the Mid–Term Review process.
Secondly, the preparation of this report provides an opportunity to report on the many achievements and activities supported under the NDP Marine RTDI Measure during the period 2000–2002.Funder: Marine Institut

Marine Institute's Monitoring Programme for Veterinary Residues & Environmental Contaminants in Farmed Finfish
No full textEuropean Union Directive 96/23 of the 29th April 1996 requires member states to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products in EU member countries. The Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development co-ordinate the programme in Ireland. This programme involves many food groups such as bovine, pigs, sheep, goats, gorses, poultry, aquaculture, milk, eggs, rabbit, game and honey. The Marine Institute through the Department of Marine and Natural Resources is charged with the responsibility of monitoring farmed finfish in the Republic of Ireland.Funder: Marine Institut
Report on the Implementation of the Recommendations of the Salmon Task Force
No full textFollowing the publication of the Report of the Salmon Management Task Force, the Marine Institute was asked to prepare a technical report on all aspects of the recommendations made, in particular those regarding Total Allowable Catch, Quota, Carcass Tagging and predation control measures. A technical implementation group was established by the Marine Institute which consulted with the Department of the Marine and Natural Resources, the Central and Regional Fisheries Boards and other interested parties during the drafting stages.
The report provides an overview (1.0) of a new management system and within this system how stocks can be protected (2.0) and fisheries managed (3.0). Section 4.0 details the requirements for enforcement and monitoring. Section 5.0 deals with fishery management plans within the context of overall catchment management plans and peripheral issues are dealt with (6.0-10.0). Section (11.0) makes an attempt to specify the areas in which extra costs will occur and a timetable for implementation is suggested in (12.0) for the period 1998 to 2000. Predation control measures are being dealt with separately in consultation with the Department of the Marine and Natural Resources.Funder: Marine Institut

Oceans of Opportunity - Exploring Ireland’s Marine Resources: Review of Projects 2000–2005
No full textThis publication gives an overview of projects and some of the achievements of the research and development activity funded under the Marine RTDI in the current National Development Plan (2000–2006). Approximately €52 million was originally committed to the programme and although the funding period is not fully complete, it is timely to look at the range of projects that have been supported and developed under the National Development Plan.Funder: Marine Institut
Study of Brominated Flame Retardants in Irish Farmed Salmon
No full textThe Marine Institute (MI) undertakes monitoring and research relating to contaminants and chemical residues in Irish fisheries products, and works with key agencies such as the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) to ensure a high level of consumer protection. In 2004 the MI carried out a study of levels of brominated flame retardants, (BFRs), in Irish farmed salmon.Funder: Marine Institut
