Call for proposals to support fisheries co-management in European sea basins

The OCEAN 03 call focuses on developing collaborative fisheries co management models that bring together fishers, scientists, managers and local communities. The objective is to test practical governance approaches that improve stock assessment, reduce environmental impacts and strengthen the long term sustainability of coastal and marine fisheries. Proposals should reflect regional specificities and contribute to the Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters objectives, with relevance for coastal communities across Europe’s sea basins, including the Black Sea. The expected deadline is 23 September 2026. Full eligibility and requirements are available at the link.
