Human activity has already affected all parts of the ocean
with pollution increasing and fish-stocks plummeting
The UN’s recent announcement of a Decade of Ocean Science provides a glimmer of hope
but scientists will need to work closely with decision-makers and society at large to get the ocean back on track
Sustainable Development Goal logo ©UNITED NATIONS
and more technologically advanced societies are increasingly impacting their local and the global environment
leading to pollution by both chemical and physical wastes
Integrated research is needed to assess the human and environmental risks of ongoing and future types of ocean pollution
to generate new ideas to reduce the ocean pressures by promoting recycling
improved waste management and incentive and governance regimes to encourage more sustainable production and consumption
The most challenging ocean pollutants include: atmospheric carbon dioxide
and sea level rise; agricultural fertilizers
which lead to increased primary production but result in ocean deoxygenation; untreated waste water; invasive species; micro and macro plastics
the exponential increase of which has an environmental impact as yet only partially known
or coastline erosion can be devastating for coastal communities
Throughout human evolution civilization has developed strategies to increase our resilience to threats from the ocean
the rush for coastal recreation and access to the sea has produced newly built infrastructure that is increasingly vulnerable to ocean extreme events
would also provide natural protection and increase resilience to sea-level rise and storm surges
or regulations to limit ocean pollution are all critical elements to safeguard ocean resilience
Humans have always benefitted from the ocean and its diverse ecosystem services
We often speak of a healthy and productive ocean referring to the desire to maintain the ocean in a prosperous state
and raw materials; and enables global trade and recreational and cultural services
The sustainability challenge is achieving long-term ocean prosperity for more affluent societies with a global population approaching 10 billion
Is there sufficient intergenerational will to sustain the overall long-term wealth and well-being of humans by safeguarding ocean resources and ecosystem productivity
What are the trade-offs and synergies between different strategies of marine food production and wild harvesting
different forms of energy harvesting and extraction of materials and ocean restoring zones
New research should develop and flesh out sustainable blue-green growth agendas and link it to efforts in ecosystem protection
and co-dissemination of ocean sustainability knowledge
more engagement at the primary and secondary school levels is urgently needed to promote ocean literacy
Training courses and exchange programs between south–south and north–south ocean actors
as well as courses for ocean professionals
hold tremendous potential to raise ocean awareness and promote better solutions
The increased awareness of the importance of the ocean to the future of humanity give grounds for cautious optimism and motivation for ambitious multilateral cooperation
The scientific community has been given a stage on which to shine during the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development
respect our disciplines and agendas but also be ready to embark on an exciting and transformative journey to realize the ocean we need for the future we want

The Innovation Award EuroTier 2016 in gold or silver has been awarded to 25 product innovations including some products tailored specifically for the poultry sector
will be announced at the official ceremony
which will be held in conjunction with the formal opening of the EuroTier trade fair on 14 November 2016
The trade fair will for the first time be launched on the day before it opens its doors to visitors on 15 November
Poultry related winners of the Innovation Award EuroTier 2016 are:
Establishing and stabilising a healthy intestinal flora is an essential aspect of animal health in poultry farming
Poultry Star verifiably supports these important objectives both during the initial intestinal colonisation just after chicks hatch and as part of successful re-colonisation
Poultry Star is a feed supplement specially developed for poultry on the basis of a host-specific multi-strain synbiotic that promotes early intestinal colonisation and a healthy intestinal flora
The product’s effectiveness is based on the combined use of carefully selected probiotic microorganisms and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides
This combination is able to increase the resilience of day-old chicks and poultry of any age to pathogenic microbes
It optimises the microbial colonisation of birds’ intestines and improves both overall immunity and performance parameters such as weight gain and feed efficiency
The product received EU approval as an intestinal flora stabiliser in 2015
It is available in 2 formulations for use in mixed feeds and administration via drinking water
Poultry farmers commonly administer products for enhanced animal performance and health in poultry housing
These can be given via birds’ drinking water or feeds
Dispensing via drinking water is costly and requires high-precision metering devices
while mixing products in with complete feedstuffs in feed mixing units is generally also too expensive due to stringent legal requirements
it is to be expected that the use of these products will only increase
as zootechnical measures (such as beak trimming) come to be prohibited
The Nutrition Easy@ system developed by EW Nutrition allows products to be directly dispensed into feeds with high precision
Additives are offered as aqueous solutions
which is attached to the feed line as a unit
sprays the supplement solution onto bird feed at a rate that is controlled by the feed line speed
and the accuracy it delivers is within the analytical tolerance range defined by the Association of German Agricultural Analytic and Research Institutes (VdLUFA)
The Nutrition Easy@ system allows bird feeds to be supplemented with active agents quickly
It therefore supports approaches towards improved animal welfare
Drinking systems for poultry housing are almost exclusively operated at low pressures
pressure ratios within these systems can vary depending on fluctuations in the water supply
the time of day or birds’ drinking water intake from the relevant drinking line
Excessively high or low pressures in turn can affect the functionality of valves in the system
which can result in insufficient water being available to birds or drinking lines leaking
The Optima E-Control system monitors and regulates the pressure in water lines to ensure that it remains constant
This substantially reduces the risk of wet litter in bird housing
The system additionally allows flock-specific or farm-specific pressure curves to be defined to maintain an optimal water supply at all times
Optima E Control also offers a function that triggers an alarm when insufficient water is available and caters for automatic flushing
Optima E-Control constitutes promising progress in optimising the water supply for poultry
The system enhances animal welfare by keeping litter dry
and helps reduce the production of emission-related substances such as ammonia
continuous monitoring of ammonia concentrations in animal housing and the control of air quality based on the results of such monitoring was mainly prevented by the lack of sufficiently precise sensors that were robust enough for long-term use
The Dräger Polytron C300 is the first electrochemical sensor for the continuous measurement of ammonia concentrations in animal housing that delivers both reliable function and long-term stability
As sample gas is supplied to the sensors via diffusors
the sampling process requires no pumps or hoses
The measuring range covers the full range of concentrations relevant for animal housing
The sensor is sufficiently robust to withstand environmental conditions in animal housing and allows ammonia concentrations to be monitored during practical operation
Its data can be fed into animal facility software as control parameters for maintaining good environmental quality and promoting animal welfare
Poultry is exposed to very high stress levels
with the period between animals’ removal from transport containers and their being anaesthetised being particularly critical
Marel’s ATLAS (Advanced Bird Transport Solution from Grower to Processor) system is a modular unloading system that allows birds to be transferred to conveyor belts with less stress
The system is a rigorous further development of the existing container system
The individual transport modules of larger transport containers are automatically separated into individual modules as they are supplied to the slaughter line
without birds needing to be unloaded at different levels or without them needing to be handled or treated in any other manner
This ensures that the animals do not have direct contact with people after they are loaded
the animals suffer considerably less stress
which delivers significant benefits in terms of animal welfare
