Imagine a digital map for the ocean that works like a flight tracker for fishing boats. It uses smart software to spot where too many fish are being caught and helps authorities catch illegal fishers. It's like giving the fishing industry a shared, secure digital ledger to prove their catch is sustainable.
Small-scale and recreational fisheries are poorly monitored, creating data gaps that enable illegal fishing and make sustainable stock management nearly impossible.
A Gaia-X aligned Fisheries Data Space, an AI-powered 'Insight' Web GIS portal for public fishing intensity data, and a restricted 'FMC Platform' for illegal fishing detection.
If you are a government agency dealing with illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing — this project developed the FMC Platform that provides restricted-access tools to detect IUU fishing using fisheries-dependent data.
If you are a retailer dealing with a lack of transparency in seafood origins — this project developed the Insight Platform and traceability pilots in the Baltic Sea that provide AI-based services to inform the public about fishing intensity.
If you are a tech provider dealing with data gaps in small-scale fisheries — this project developed a Gaia-X aligned data-sharing environment and tested VMS and gear markers in Croatia, Portugal, and Ireland.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost details are provided, though the Insight platform is described as delivering open-access services.
Yes, the project uses a Gaia-X aligned architecture designed for interoperable data spaces and has already been tested across 7 countries.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project focuses on open interoperable technology and a consultative approach.
It supports the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by closing data gaps and providing reliable information for enforcement and science-based management.
The system uses a smart orchestrated architecture to integrate vessel positions, electronic catch reports, and environmental data into a Web GIS portal.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with a 50% industry ratio, including 6 industrial partners and 3 SMEs. This balance, combined with the presence of 6 'Other' organizations (including multiple WWF branches), suggests a strong focus on practical application and regulatory alignment rather than pure academic research.
