The School of Marine Sciences is proud to be part of a double win in the University of Haifa\u2019s \u201cWe Came to Improve\u201d sustainability competition \u2013 a campus-wide initiative promoting environmental innovation and action.<\/p>\n

At the awards ceremony held last week, two winning projects involving researchers from the Department of Marine Biology were selected for implementation – and will be combined into one dynamic, collaborative space on campus:<\/p>\n

Aquaponics System<\/strong>
Dr. Eli Shemesh (Department of Marine Biology) and Mr. Benny Vaknin (Institute of Evolution) will lead a sustainable closed-loop system combining the cultivation of tilapia fish with hydroponic vegetable and herb farming – mimicking a natural ecological balance.<\/p>\n

Home-Biogas and Hydroponics System<\/strong>
Dr. Yigal Bernstein (Department of Marine Biology), together with Dr. Lidor Shaer-Moshe (Department of Evolutionary and Environmental Biology) and Dr. Matan Mussel (Department of Physics), will establish an innovative system that integrates biological energy production with plant growth in water.<\/p>\n

These two projects will be united in a shared campus space known as the \u201cGreen Corner\u201d – <\/strong>a living sustainability hub that will combine education, applied research, and community engagement. The center aims to reduce carbon emissions, support local organic food production, and serve as a model for learning and environmental innovation.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the winners – and to a greener future for our campus and beyond!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
