PHAROS Visual Guidelines
The PHAROS team has developed a visual identity package that is publicly accessible to all partners. This package includes essential visual elements, such as the logo, drawings, brand colour, presentation…
PHAROS Deliverables
Methodology and Preparation
The first work package focuses on developing a detailed, project-wide methodology to be followed in subsequent phases. This includes gathering baseline data on local biodiversity and ecosystems to assess the suitability of selected sites and potential solutions. Detailed planning and design for PHAROS demonstrations will be completed, ensuring all necessary preparations are in place.

Stakeholder Engagement, MPA Engagement, Education, Fisher Guardian, and Citizen Litter Entrepreneur Programs
This work package covers all aspects of stakeholder engagement and the implementation of educational and environmental programs. It will establish demo and replication Living Labs in each site, involving stakeholders in various steps of the PHAROS demos and later in replication sites. A dedicated MPA role will work closely with WP4 to extend the BLUE4ALL MPA platform and network to the AA basin. Additionally, WP2 will extend the Blue Schools Network/Open Schooling concept and implement the Fisher Guardian and Citizen Litter Entrepreneur programs.

Monitoring, and DTO and MPA Platform Development
WP4 is responsible for all demo monitoring based on the methodology developed in WP1. It will build local Digital Twin Ocean (DTO) representations of two demo sites and create project-wide protocols to ensure all PHAROS results and data are compatible with the EU DTO. This work package will also develop the technological component of the Blueprint platform MPA extension to the AA basin and ecological corridors.
