Maren²

What is Maren² ?

MAREN2 is an interregional project co-financed by the Atlantic Area Transnational Programme and included in the 2007-2013 Atlantic Area (AA) Programme. Its main objective is to speed up the exploitation of the renewable energy potential of the marine and coastal environment and protecting, securing and enhancing its sustainability. MAREN2 is strongly based on the previous project MAREN1 (Marine Renewable Energy Extraction and Hydro-environmental Aspects), supported by 2000-2006 Atlantic Area Programme.
