Livrables

Other (1)

Education/ awareness material

Educational materials for fishers awareness activities (e.g.posters, flyers, and roll-ups) focusing on the problematic of marine litter including: role of the fishing industry as polluter; economic impacts on fisheries; how fishers can minimise waste and reduce harmful environmental impacts (e.g. bycatch, ghost fishing); potential use of alternative/eco-friendly materials; strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy and resource consumption. The educational materials produced towards professional fishers using simple, non-scientific language and will be prepared in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Croatian.

Documents, reports (1)

PDEC

Plan for Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (PDEC) Activities, including Project brand and communication products. PDEC developed to reach and maximise the expected project impacts, and yearly updated and implemented for the full duration of the project in collaboration with all project partners. The PDEC will support the strategic and effective communication, dissemination, and exploitation of NETTAG+s results and findings to all stakeholders including the media and general public, while managing IP protection.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (2)

Didactic unit and video game

Develop of an educational program for schoolchildren (1013-year-old) through the use of a video game expressly developed to address and raise awareness about the problem of marine litter, to increase ocean literacy and encourage conservation-attitudes towards ocean protection.

Enhanced transponders

Pre-production prototype transponders with core location functions (TRL 8). The tag technology fully engineer to reach TRL 8 ready for commercial exploitation. Design and test pre-production tags, with the emphasis on minimum manufacturing cost, maximum physical robustness for harsh treatment by fishers and maximising battery life. Robust but low-cost tag construction with transducer and electronics encased in a hard-plastic shell will be developed and optimised for acoustic coupling performance. Electronic circuits reviewed to further reduce power consumption using the latest ultra-low power ARM microprocessors and/or programmable logic devices, along with further cost engineering/component reduction to reduce the bill of materials.

Data Management Plan (1)

First version of the Data Management Plan

Guidelines for data management (including data protection aspects) within the project, identification and description how the project will manage data (re-used, collected and generated by the project), in support of the Ocean and water knowledge system, in particular by contributing to monitoring, modelling and knowledge creation and data. DMP includes an overview of data types, format and volume and how they will be handled, organised and shared to conform to FAIR principles.
