Co4SSF

Co-developing Data Collection, Analysis and Decision Support System for Small Scale Fisheries

Back to index

The Co4SSF project aims to introduce new systematic approaches to fisheries management to advance knowledge needed to support the integrated management of the coastal zone and maritime compartments where protected habitats fall, with particular reference to the Small Scale Fisheries sector that to date lacks a solid information layer. An innovative data collection, analysis and management support system for Small Scale Fisheries will be developed under the project. Data collection activities and systematic characterization of Small Scale Fisheries activities will be developed through the involvement of fishery operators and stakeholders and complemented by ecological knowledge, through tools for analysis and shared spatial planning of sea uses that will take into account impacts on the environment and potential conflicts with other uses. This approach will encourage the design of integrated management protocols among Small Scale Fisheries operators with a view to sustainable management of the resources of the marine environment. The project is carried out in partnership with the Coldiretti National Confederation (which plays the role of Lead Partner).

Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
