Start year 2021 End year 2025 Funding (€) € 7,919,413 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101000302 Summary EcoScope aims to promote an effective ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in European seas. EcoScope will develop an interoperable platform, a tool (toolbox) to facilitate decision-making, a series of online courses, and a mobile application. These tools will be made available through a single public portal to promote an efficient, ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. The four-year project addresses the degradation of marine ecosystems and the anthropogenic impact caused by unsustainable exploitation of fisheries in several European seas to promote more efficient, holistic, sustainable and “ecocentric” fisheries management that can restore the sustainability of fisheries and ensure greater balance between food, safety and healthy seas.
