Project description
Protecting Europe’s fishing industry with streams of Copernicus and GEOSS data
The EU’s fishing industry is the fourth largest in the world. As such, it is important to develop and protect the sustainable exploitation of aquatic resources. This requires accurate and continuous monitoring. In this context, the EU-funded NextOcean project will test whether Copernicus and GEOSS data can be used by fishing authorities to improve control over marine resources and by fishing companies to certify their compliance to sustainability by ecolabeling fish provenance. The data could also assist aquaculture regulators in assessing the impact of fish farms. The project will organise workshops and training sessions to inform the broader community about the use of Earth Observation commercial services.
