FAIRSEA

Fisheries in the AdriatIc Region a Shared Ecosystem Approach

Back to index

The FAIRSEA project aims to strengthen transnational capacity and cooperation for an ecosystem approach to fisheries in the Adriatic region by exchanging knowledge and sharing best practices among the partners involved. The complementary competencies of partners are shared, interconnected and integrated, while also considering the challenges and opportunities identified by stakeholders. Efforts are incorporated into a spatially explicit management platform that will enable the sharing of expertise, create a common pool of knowledge, strengthen the operational application of the ecosystem approach to fisheries, improve expertise in complex system dynamics, and promote consensus on the state of the environment and fisheries in the region. The process developed at Fairsea will provide an opportunity to describe best practices and set guidelines for sustainable fisheries management.

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.
