The Strategic Investment analysis and Scientific Planning/Alerting (SIASPA) VRE offers geospatial multi-factor optimization services that support intelligent identification of locations of interest for investors and stakeholders (from an economic and environmental point of view) seeking optimization of intended investments. Furthermore, the analytics functions that are executed over the existing or candidate aquaculture zones can facilitate scientists seeking areas of environmental importance. Apart from these basic features, the VRE also serves as a workspace for sharing documents of interest, a social networking area for supporting collaboration among members and a user management tool for managing membership. Finally, the data catalogue service facilitates the retrieval of BlueBRIDGE products.
