The ecological transition of fisheries and aquaculture
In the context of the recently launched EU ‘fisheries package’ by the European Commission, FAMENET’s next online seminar for fisheries LAGs will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn more about the latest developments of sustainability and resilience of the EU's fisheries and aquaculture sector.
The seminar will focus on three main themes:
- Energy transition of fisheries or aquaculture-related activities.
- Reducing ecosystem impacts of fisheries or aquaculture.
- Innovations in aquaculture including community regenerative ocean farming.
Interpretation during the seminar will be available in all languages via on-screen captions. Join us for a series of presentations from leading experts, panel discussions, Q&As, and much more.
