Description
The primary objective of the seminar is to explore how citizens can support the scientific process and the management of fisheries. To achieve this goal, the seminar provides a dialogue platform with multiple networking opportunities and debates about the potential of Citizen Science to inform fisheries and environmental policies. The event will also highlight the relevance of citizen science in implementing an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) and the importance of acquiring data on recreational fisheries.
Hosting the seminar, the Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries seeks to facilitate dialogue, networking, and reflection on the state of scientific advice and research on fisheries. The outcomes of the seminar will help shape future policies and adjust to current ones. Furthermore, the seminar will contribute to the internal training offered to colleagues, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration within the institution.
The Fisheries Science Seminar will be hybrid, giving the audience the possibility to attend physically and online. Limited to venue capacity, physical participation is encouraged.
