Med&BS RDBFIS

Development of the regional database for the Mediterranean and Black Seas

Back to index

The goal of this project is to develop a platform to host the Regional Database (RDB) of fishery data for the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea in order to make it more usable and facilitate the production of scientific assessments. In addition, the platform should facilitate the use of this information to meet the needs of fisheries management emphasized by the Common Fisheries Policy European and national contexts. The creation of this database is among the obligations required by the Data Collection Framework (DCF) and must be produced in consultation with the heads of the Regional Coordination Group (RCG), the European Commission, member states and the cooperation of end users such as research institutes, cooperatives, etc. involved in the DCF. Through this database, it will be possible to optimize sampling activities as well as the sharing of data collected within DCF, harmonizing the type and transparency of data collected among various business units, improving the quality of data and data and promoting its use.

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.
