Marine Guardian
Strengthening Sustainable Fisheries and Protecting Marine Ecosystems
Content
MarineGuardian will, through a holistic approach, provide impact-driven solutions to reduce fisheries´ environmental impacts on marine species and habitats.
Current solutions for more sustainable fisheries exist but are fragmented and often lack real-time actionable insights for fishers and policymakers. MarineGuardian will advance tools, technologies, operational strategies, and enhance knowledge to accelerate the transition towards sustainable and economically viable fisheries. The project will deliver:
- innovative technologies to reduce and prevent incidental catches of sensitive species and juveniles,
- best practice guidelines for reduced discard and damage to catch,
- decision support systems for effective mitigation measures to protect sensitive marine ecosystems, whilst optimising fishing operations,
- new methods for data sharing in seafood value chains to ease corporate sustainability reporting and ecolabelling processes.
- A roadmap for sustainable fisheries will be drawn-up to demonstrate scalability and replicability of the solutions in line with the Mission Ocean objectives.
These will be co-developed with fishers, management authorities, and policy makers, tested in 6 case studies to demonstrate their feasibility and ensure long term viability of the European seafood sector.
