How to achieve the sustainability of the seafood sector in the European Atlantic Area?
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper examines sustainability challenges facing European Atlantic fisheries, including climate change, globalization, and marine debris. It describes efforts within the NEPTUNUS project to support the transition toward more sustainable seafood production.
Abstract Climate change, globalization or marine debris are on the spot of concerns for the most society. Particularly, fisheries are impacted by these and other issues. On the framework of the European Atlantic area, NEPTUNUS project (EAPA_576_2018) tries to provide opportunities for the transition to the circular economy of the seafood and aquaculture sectors by means of a consistent methodology for products eco-labelling and defining eco-innovation strategies. Furthermore, this project will provide key actions for resource efficiency based on life cycle thinking and the nexus water-energy-food, incorporating producers, policy makers and consumers in the decision-making process. This review addresses, therefore, the threats and challenges of the current Atlantic fisheries, the methodologies and actions to be face them and the expected results of the NEPTUNUS project
