'MARLIN AQUA - Modular Floating Platform' for Aquaculture project aims explore/address the challenge of oceanic aquaculture by applying a 'Modular System Approach' enabling offshore floating platform configurations to be designed, analysed, assembled, and installed that directly respond to the customers' operational needs and constraints. Floating offshore wind for aquaculture is a new concept and has focussed on the application of utility scale turbines. Smaller individual products are feasible, and the modular approach reduces installation costs.Primary focus is on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 - Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. Overfishing of the sea and tidal rivers, estuaries, and deltas has resulted in depletion of precious fish stocks, it harms ecosystems and ultimately means that our oceans will be less abundant/productive for future generations. Aquaculture as a sector within the 'Blue Economy' is being driven by the need to provide a significant proportion of food for global populations. In this context, helps efforts to strengthen food security (SDG2), promote sustainable economic growth (SDG8), promote sustainable consumption and production (SDG12), as well as strengthen global partnerships for sustainable development (SDG17).A key area for growth being Atlantic salmon farming in Scotland, Norway, Canada, Chile, all with expansion plans in offshore operations (Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Ref: Offshore Aquaculture report April 2022). Shifting operations to deeper water provides opportunity to address the challenges associated with aquaculture in practice, with potential to positively impact:* Water quality management and disease control* Level of reliance on fossil fuels* Offshore operative H&S during fuel transfersUsing a Design for NetZero people and planet systemic approach the project will explore:-With key stakeholders (fish farm owners/operators, industry, government, academia) the challenges, issues, pressures in the aquaculture sector enabling development of a platform designed based on their own practices/needs.-Identifying energy related opportunities to improve cost-effective installation, operation, and maintenance of the generating equipment.The project aims to help Frontier Technical overcome major constraints to transformational change in the sector, shifting away from motives that investment in innovation goes into extending the lifespan of existing systems that are, at heart, no longer fit for purpose. By looking at and beyond the problems inherent in the current practices allows the potential for a different system to emerge, evolving current practice, designing not only in a systems-conscious way, but a system-shifting way. Design outputs will support investment pitches or future funding applications.

“马林AQUA -模块化浮动平台”项目旨在通过应用“模块化系统方法”探索/解决海洋水产养殖的挑战，使海上浮动平台配置能够直接响应客户的运营需求和限制。用于水产养殖的浮动海上风力是一个新概念，主要集中在公用事业规模涡轮机的应用上。小型的单个产品是可行的，模块化的方法降低了安装成本。主要重点是可持续发展目标（SDG）14 -保护和可持续利用海洋和海洋资源，以促进可持续发展。海洋和潮汐河流，河口和三角洲的过度捕捞导致了珍贵鱼类资源的枯竭，它损害了生态系统，最终意味着我们的海洋将减少后代的丰富/生产力。水产养殖作为“蓝色经济”中的一个部门，其驱动力是为全球人口提供相当大比例的粮食。在此背景下，帮助努力加强粮食安全（SDG 2）、促进可持续经济增长（SDG 8）、促进可持续消费和生产（SDG 12），以及加强可持续发展的全球伙伴关系（SDG 17）。一个关键的增长领域是苏格兰、挪威、加拿大、智利的大西洋鲑鱼养殖，所有这些都有离岸业务的扩张计划（海洋能源系统（OES）参考：2022年4月的近海水产养殖报告）。将业务转移到更深的水域提供了解决与水产养殖相关的挑战的机会，并有可能产生积极的影响：* 水质管理和疾病控制 * 对化石燃料的依赖程度 * 燃料转移期间的海上操作H&S使用NetZero人和地球系统方法的设计，该项目将探索：-与关键利益相关者（渔场所有者/经营者，工业，政府，学术界）的挑战，问题，水产养殖部门的压力，使其能够开发基于自己的实践/需求设计的平台。识别与能源相关的机会，以提高发电设备的成本效益安装、运行和维护。该项目旨在帮助Frontier Technical克服该行业转型变革的主要制约因素，从投资创新的动机转向延长现有系统的寿命，这些系统本质上不再适合用途。通过审视和超越当前实践中固有的问题，可以产生一个不同的系统，发展当前的实践，不仅以系统意识的方式进行设计，而且以系统转移的方式进行设计。设计输出将支持投资宣传或未来的资金申请。
