Just now, a meeting of the MareFrame project ended. The meeting was with Icelandic stakeholders, a cross-section of the stakeholders affected by fisheries management.
Matís, the University of Iceland and the Marine Research Institute are participants in the European research and development project MareFrame (http://www.mareframe.eu).
One of the goals of the MareFrame is to develop and utilize ecosystem models to assist in fisheries decision-making.
An important part of this process is to take into account the emphases and opinions of different stakeholders when making the models and when making decisions. Biological, ecological, economic and social factors must be taken into account.
At the meeting, MareFrame was introduced and the work that has been done in the project in this country.
Further information about the MareFrame project can be found on the project's website and Matís' website.
