WS4: Aquaculture’s market potential in the EU: ensuring food security & trade balance in a sustainable blue economy

The joint DecarbonyT–MarineGuardian–EcoCatch–MrGoodFish3.0-WGING-WGBYC workshop explores ecosystem-sensitive, sustainable fisheries by integrating climate-smart innovations for sustainable production and consumption. We highlight co-created, area-based management approaches and next-generation low-impact gear, aligned with biodiversity protection and viable fishing. Combining social science, policy, and technological insights, the workshop promotes holistic, shared stewardship for resilient fisheries, supporting the EU Technical Measures Regulation, the Ocean Pact, the Ocean Act, and shared governance.
