Project description
New technologies for resilient fisheries to climate change
Climate change severely impacts the fishing industry, making adaptations within this sector essential. The EU-funded INFINIFISH project will develop innovative technologies to monitor and mitigate the climate impacts of fishing, while enabling fisheries to adapt to changing conditions. The project will create and validate solutions across the entire fisheries value chain, including fishing gear designed to reduce fuel consumption and minimise carbon resuspension from the seabed, decision support systems for energy-efficient routing and searching, and methods for improved utilisation of catches. Additionally, the project will implement data collection technologies to monitor environmental conditions. Case studies with stakeholder involvement and impact assessments across various European fisheries will inform a policy action plan for local uptake and adaptation of these innovations.
Objective
The INFINIFISH project will create innovations to monitor and mitigate the impacts of fishing on the climate and enable fisheries to adapt to the consequences of climate change. It will develop and validate technological solutions for the entire fisheries value chain, such as:
• fishing gear that reduces fuel consumption and resuspension of carbon from the seabed
• data collection technology to monitor fishing operations, catches, and the environment
• decision support systems that optimise fishing operations with respect to energy efficiency
• fish processing technologies that increase resource utilisation efficiency
• novel products that enable the valorisation of currently discarded resources and new fish species
The project will also investigate the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and fisheries through model studies, and identify effective climate change adaptations and mitigation strategies in fisheries management.
INFINIFISH will carry out case studies in a wide variety of fisheries across Europe to explore and record how collaborative learning by different stakeholder groups can improve the use and uptake of these technical and operational solutions. The result will be a policy action plan that shows how technologies and innovations can be adapted to, and adopted by, particular local and social contexts. This will be key to maximising the impact of INFINIFISH, ensuring that the project will contribute to significant and lasting change in the fishing sector.
