This book explores a variety of research topics in marine technology delving into a wide array of crucial research topics within the maritime industry and its technology, encapsulating the latest research findings presented at The 8th International Conference on Marine Technology (SENTA 2023). It provides the exchange of recent knowledge, experiences, and innovations in the field of marine science and technology encompassing naval architecture and technology; marine system and safety; ocean, coastal, and offshore engineering; shipping, port, and maritime logistics; underwater technology; and advanced technology in maritime industry. This book covers studies ranging from ship design and production technique comprising ship design process, ship hydrodynamics, ship structure and advanced ship material, and ship management and production technology. The book also examines the invention in marine operation, marine machinery and maintenance system, and marine safety including digital technology in marine system and safety. It also addresses the topics on coastal, ocean, and offshore technology starting from coastal/offshore hydrodynamics, ocean energy, mooring line analysis to offshore structure analysis. In addition, shipping, port, and marine logistic researches are also conveyed in this book especially on shipping operation optimization, port development, green port, and smart shipping development. Moreover, underwater technology and advanced technology in marine industry i.e. computer vision technology for underwater vehicles, digital technology on ship design and production, and advanced computer technology in port and shipping development are discovered. In overall, this book offers a cradle for the exchange of ground-breaking ideas, fostering collaboration, and potentially setting the stage for significant developments in the marine technology.

« Je me rendis compte que la mer elle-même devait être le personnage central de mon récit, que je le veuille ou non. Car la mer, tenant pouvoir de vie et de mort sur chacune de ses créatures, de la plus petite à la plus grande, allait inévitablement pénétrer chaque page. »À la fin des années 1930, une jeune biologiste marine passionnée de littérature imagine un projet inédit : raconter la mer du point de vue des espèces qui la peuplent.Paru en 1941, ce grand récit polyphonique et poétique est le premier livre de Rachel Carson. C’est aussi son préféré.

This book explores the phenomenon of ocean acidification, a significant environmental issue driven by increased CO2 emissions. It delves into the impacts of acidification on marine ecosystems, organisms, and human reliance on marine resources. The authors aim to raise awareness about this lesser-known aspect of climate change, providing insights into its scientific foundation, historical trends, and future projections. The text also discusses potential remediation strategies and emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, combining marine biology, biogeochemistry, and socio-economic perspectives. The book is intended for a broad audience, aiming to inform both the scientific community and the general public about the critical importance of understanding and addressing ocean acidification.

Tropical seaweeds represent a major source of diversity and potential for cultivation. Cultivation of seaweeds has been coined “phyconomy” (derived from phycology and agronomy). One of the world’s most important groups of tropical seaweeds is the eucheumatoids (comprising members of the genera Kappaphycus and Eucheuma). Whilst the biomass from these seaweeds is mostly used to produce colloids (i.e., various carrageenans) trends are changing and new, value-added applications are emerging including bioactives for agriculture, pharmaceutical applications, as well as bioplastics and possibly energy when processed as part of a MUZE (i.e., multi-stream, zero effluent), or biorefinery approach. Phyconomic activities around the production of seaweed biomass provides socio-economic benefits for many hundreds of thousands of global, coastal dwellers around a circum-tropical belt. However, times are changing and the once, repetitive manual aspects of attaching seaweed fragments to ropes and nets is beginning to be mechanized. Whilst it has taken agronomy several thousands of years to develop on land, its phyconomic counterpart is, at best, 50 years old in relation to developments in cultivation of eucheumatoids. Activities around cultivation of these tropical seaweeds can contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This book contains contributions from many of the world’s authorities on tropical seaweed farming with a focus on the eucheumatoids. There are many lessons learned and best-practice examples which will be of interest to students of phyconomy (phycology), marine science, industrial users of cultivated biomass, as well as practitioners in charge of coastal zone management and ensuring responsible and sustainable socio-economic benefits are derived from marine resources for coastal dwellers.
