• Meeting invitation

This is an invitation only stakeholder workshop organised under the project Ecocentric Management for Sustainable Fisheries and Healthy Marine Ecosystems (EcoScope), which is funded by Horizon 2020. The EcoScope Project aims to promote an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management, through a range of tools and activities, such as the EcoScope Toolbox and the EcoScope Platform. The four-year project (2021-2025) addresses ecosystem degradation and anthropogenic impact that cause fisheries to be unsustainably exploited in several European seas and promotes efficient, holistic, sustainable, ecocentric fisheries management that will aid towards restoring fisheries sustainability and ensuring balance between food security and healthy seas. Time: 09.00-17.00 CET

This ICES Workshop for the Technical evaluation of EU Member States’ Eel regulation Progress Reports 2021 (WKEMP3) will support EU DG MARE in evaluating the implementation of the national Eel Management Plans (EMPs) under the Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the stock of European eel.

This time the Baltic Breakfast event will focus on the consequences of environmental changes on the Baltic Sea's food webs and ecosystems. Maciej Tomczak, researcher at the Baltic Sea Centre, Stockholm University, will share the results from an international project looking at environmental changes over an 80-year period. Eva Ehrnsten, also at the Baltic Sea Centre, Stockholm University, will describe how changes in phosphorus and nitrogen inputs have affected different types of benthic animals since the 1970s.
