Project:Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe project, SEA4FUTURE, is dedicated to catalyzing a blue transformation of the Mediterranean seafood sector. The project addresses key challenges facing the Mediterranean regions, including environmental degradation, overexploited fish stocks and socio-economic vulnerability of coastal communities.
Coordinated by the University of Alicante (Spain), the project brings together 22 partners from eight countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, France, Germany, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
Ecologic Institute leads social science research focusing on the integration of fishers’ knowledge and expertise in new sustainable fisheries monitoring processes and implementing a stakeholder engagement strategy to foster social acceptance and support for the sustainable seafood products and practices promoted by the project. Ecologic also coordinates the development of actionable policy recommendations and building capacity for decision-makers, supporting the adoption of Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) within the EU and beyond.
