Imagine if fishermen had a weather app that didn't just predict rain, but told them exactly how to change their gear to catch the right fish as the ocean warms. It's like giving the fishing fleet a GPS for climate change, including new nets that save fuel and software to track their carbon footprint. The goal is to make sure fishing businesses can survive and thrive even as the environment shifts.
Fishing fleets face unpredictable stock migrations and rising operational costs due to climate change. They lack the specific tools and gear needed to adapt their catch methods and reduce carbon emissions.
["Decision support tools for climate adaptation.", "Fuel-efficient and selective fishing gears.", "Environmental impact management software for carbon reduction."]
If you are a fleet operator dealing with rising fuel costs and changing fish migrations — this project developed decision support tools and innovative fishing gears that improve fuel efficiency and selectivity.
If you are a software provider dealing with the need for carbon tracking in the blue economy — this project developed environmental impact management software to reduce emissions across the value chain.
If you are a cooperative dealing with the loss of traditional fish stocks — this project developed commercial utilization plans for emerging species to create new revenue streams.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the software or gear is not provided, as the project is funded by a EUR 4,500,000 EU contribution.
Yes, the project implements solutions across six case studies to ensure they are relevant and feasible for the fishing industry.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project focuses on the transferability of solutions to various regions.
The project aligns with the European Green Deal, the Common Fisheries Policy, and the European Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
The project runs from 2025-05-01 to 2029-04-30.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercial translation, featuring 16 partners across 9 countries. With a 25% industry ratio (4 industrial partners) and 5 'Other' organizations, the project combines academic research from 3 universities and 4 research centers with practical market application, ensuring the tools are demand-driven.
