Marine Beacon
Monitoring and elimination of bycatch of endangered and conserved species in the NE and high seas Atlantic region
Addressing the impact of bycatch on the decline of marine biodiversity
Marine Beacon is an EU funded project that will address gaps in our current understanding of how fisheries bycatch impacts protected, endangered and threatened species.
The project will work with fisheries, policy and conservation stakeholders to develop and test innovative, tools and techniques for better monitoring of these important species and mitigating risks of bycatch, to ensure healthier seas and more sustainable fisheries.
By working directly with fisheries, policy makers and conservationists, Marine Beacon researchers plan to develop real, effective strategies to minimise or eliminate the interactions of bycaught species with fishing gear as well as reducing post-interaction mortality.
