Enhancing prediction of tropical Atlantic climate and its impacts (PREFACE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Tropical Atlantic climate recently experienced pronounced shifts of great socio-economic importance. The oceanic changes were largest in the eastern boundary upwelling systems. African countries bordering the Atlantic strongly depend upon their ocean - societal development, fisheries, and tourism. They were strongly affected by these climatic changes and will face important adaptation challenges a ...

Implementation of a multispecies model GADGET to the ecosystem of Flemish Cap and incorporation to the fisheries stock assessment of NAFO; a case study (GADCAP)

Start date: Jan 13, 2014, End date: Jan 12, 2016,

Most of the worldwide marine fish resources are fully exploited or overexploited. There is a general consensus to change fisheries management toward a multispecies approach that considers species interactions and don´t overestimate stock-biomass per recruit, as it occurs with the current monospecific approach. GADGET has been considered by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) the multispeci ...

Bridging the gap between science, stakeholders and policy makers Phase 2:Integration of evidence-based knowledge and its application to science and management of fisheries and the marine environment (GAP2)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

GAP2 is about making a difference to an issue of significance to the whole of society; the wellbeing of the marine environment and the sustainability of fisheries upon which society depends for food. It builds on the relationships, processes and plans arising from GAP1 by enabling Mobilisation and Mutual Learning (MML) actions that promote stakeholder participation in the debate on and development ...

Hotspot Ecosystem Research and Man's Impact on European seas (HERMIONE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The HERMIONE project is designed to make a major advance in our knowledge of the functioning of deep-sea ecosystems and their contribution to the production of goods and services. This will be achieved through a highly interdisciplinary approach (including biologists, ecologists, microbiologists, biogeochemists, sedimentologists, physical oceanographers, modelers and socio-economists) that will in ...

Management and monitoring of deep-sea fisheries and stocks (DEEPFISHMAN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"Deepwater fisheries pose particular difficulties for management. Target species are difficult to assess with high levels of uncertainty, they are generally vulnerable to overfishing and sustainable levels of exploitation are low. Ecosystems are impacted by fishing due to the removal of target species, bycatch of numerous fish and other organisms and the crushing of benthos such as e.g. cold water ...

Advancing understanding of Atlantic Salmon at Sea: Merging Genetics and Ecology to resolve Stock-specific Migration and Distribution patterns (SALSEA-Merge)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

Over the past two decades, an increasing proportion of North Atlantic salmon are dying at sea during their oceanic feeding migration. The specific reasons for the decline in this important species are as yet unknown, however, climate change is likely to be an important factor. In some rivers in the southern part of the salmons range, wild salmon now face extinction. This is in spite of unprecedent ...
