Introduction

To test our Framework for One Health, we’re running a Living Lab pilot study in Plentzia, Spain. BlueAdapt’s Living Lab will bring together researchers, citizens, businesses and policy makers to translate evidence-based recommendations into policy and practice.

The impact

The One Health Living Lab provides a space where we can engage with the public and stakeholders to identify both barriers and opportunities for adaptation. This approach encourages collaboration across sectors to create a healthier and safer coastal environment.

Prof Ionan Marigomez from the Centre for Experimental Marine Biology and Biotechnology (PiE-UPV/EHU), explains how BlueAdapt’s research will inform better management of recreation, waste and fishing activities in the Bay of Plentzia. This research will inform the pilot study for the One Health Living Lab and act as an example for other coastal areas in Europe. You can also watch this video in Spanish or Basque.
