A Journey into the Depths of the Sea: Innovation and Science in the Department of Blue biotechnologies and Sustainable mariculture

Welcome to our innovative Master’s degree program, established in response to the global challenges of the 21st century, with the aim of training the next generation of scientists and experts in the “Blue Revolution”.

Background
The ocean is key to our planet’s future. Oceans, covering about 70% of the Earth’s surface, are an immense source of life and resources. However, only a small part of this potential is currently utilized. In an era of climate change, global population growth, and depletion of terrestrial resources, the sea offers innovative and sustainable solutions to a variety of global challenges. Marine biotechnology and sustainable aquaculture are rapidly developing fields, combining advanced knowledge in life sciences, engineering, and technology for responsible exploitation of marine resources. These fields offer fascinating opportunities for developing new food sources, revolutionary drugs, advanced materials, and solutions to environmental problems.

About the Department

The department offers an innovative and multidisciplinary curriculum, combining advanced research with practical applications, aiming to train leading scientists and engineers and promote groundbreaking research. Special emphasis is given to developing solutions for global challenges such as food security, health, and climate change, in close collaboration with industry.

Curriculum
The curriculum provides an advanced and comprehensive toolbox including a deep understanding of marine biotechnology, aquaculture, marine ecology, and environmental sustainability. In the department, you’ll learn about researching the genetic and biochemical diversity of marine organisms, developing sea-based biotechnological products, and technologies for utilizing algae and marine microorganisms. In sustainable aquaculture, you’ll learn advanced methods for fish, shellfish, and algae farming, and management of integrated aquaculture systems. Additionally, you’ll deal with marine ecology and sustainability, including the effects of climate change and conservation of marine habitats, and advanced marine technologies such as robotics, sensors, and bioinformatics. The department is equipped with modern laboratories and research facilities supporting a wide range of projects, and allows deepening in essential skills such as advanced research methods, data analysis, and development of green technologies.

Uniqueness of the Department
The department is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach combining biology, chemistry, engineering, and environmental sciences, with emphasis on developing sustainable and innovative solutions.

Congratulations to Prof. Ilana Berman-Frank on receiving a prestigious grant for marine research centers

Congratulations to Prof. Ilana Berman-Frank on receiving a prestigious grant from the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) for marine research centers. The research team is led by Professors Berman-Frank, Yizhaq Makovsky and Barak Herut, together with Prof. Roee Diamant and Dr. Yoav Lehahn from the Charney School, as well as a large multidisciplinary team from leading research institutions in Israel.

Sailing Through Maritime History: The “Sea Voyage” Course Experience

This week, we set sail as part of the "Sea Voyage" course in our Maritime Strategy program, focusing on connecting historical heritage with contemporary maritime policy. The course, co-led by Dr. Igal Berenshtein, PhD Berenshtein and Dr. Yoav Lehahn, is built around a brilliant concept: learning about strategic, environmental, and historical topics of the Eastern Mediterranean in situ—while sailing, observing coastal sites from short distances, and engaging in meaningful conversations in an intimate setting. Aboard the yacht, with our small group and the gentle Mediterranean breeze, we created the perfect atmosphere for exchanging knowledge and insights about the sea and its significance.

Dr. Oren Gal’s Lab Partners with Rafael in EU Maritime Security Project

Dr. Oren Gal's Swarms and AI Lab (SAIL) at the Hatter Department of Marine Technology is collaborating with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems on the European Union's #UnderSec project. Our research team is developing advanced algorithms for underwater target detection through multi-sensor data fusion - cutting-edge technology that will enhance the security of maritime infrastructure and protect marine ecosystems.

A Moving Gathering of the School of Marine Sciences Community!

This week we held a special event that brought together our entire community - researchers, students and interested visitors gathered for an experiential and connecting meeting. It was moving to see the fruitful connections formed between all members of our school community, who share a common vision for creating change through the sea.

Ultrasound performed on sandbar shark reveals advanced pregnancy stage in historic Israeli first

Researchers at the Morris Kahn Marine Research Station, part of the Charney School, have conducted Israel's first-ever ultrasound examination on a sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus) and discovered that she is in an advanced stage of pregnancy. The examination was performed on a shark named "Romi" off the coast of Hadera as part of a long-term study on local shark populations.

Research Update from Our Water Chemistry Lab!

At the Water Chemistry Lab in Morris Kahn Marine Research Station, we are actively monitoring nutrient dynamics as part of our ongoing research efforts. This work is conducted within the framework of EMS FORE (Eastern Mediterranean Sea as a Model for Future Ocean Research) project , aiming to enhance our understanding of biogeochemical processes in a rapidly changing marine environment.
