Summary
The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) aims to ensure that fisheries are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable and provide a source of healthy food for EU citizens. Proposals under this project will support better fisheries management through data and technological development.
Detailed Call Description
The CFP adopts a cautious approach, which recognises the impact of human activity on all components of the ecosystem. The availability and quality of fisheries data should be improved and more needs to be done to ensure that these data are shared systematically between all relevant entities, including fisheries scientists.
Digitisation and advanced tools applied to fisheries, such as Remote Electronic Monitoring
Systems (REMs), artificial intelligence, machine learning tools, sensor data and highresolution satellite imagery, have enormous potential to optimise fishing operations and enhance our ability to collect and analyse data, as well as improve monitoring and control capabilities and ultimately support a sustainable management of marine biological resources.
Research under this topic should be cross-disciplinary bringing together marine scientists, maritime (including fisheries) surveillance and control authorities, IT specialists and governance experts.
