Launched in 2022, REDEMAR is an initiative fostering structured collaboration between shell-fishers, research centres, universities, and Galicia’s Department of Fisheries Development. The network drives the co-creation of solutions through working groups and joint research on topics such as shellfish resources, sediment impacts, oyster restoration, sea urchin sustainability, macroalgae conservation, polychaete valorisation, inclusive employment, and more.
REDEMAR organizes thematic groups, workshops and research initiatives, and has been publishing results publicly since 2023 to ensure that scientific findings inform sustainable fisheries policy and marine governance.
