The project manager is J\u00f3nas R. Vi\u00f0arsson, professional leader of the value chain of research at Mat\u00eds, but in addition to him a number of other employees of the company will be involved in the project. It is interesting to note that about 1.5 million of the 5 million euros for which the project is funded are paid to Icelandic participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mat\u00eds and the United Nations University Fisheries Training Program (UNU-FTP), located in Iceland, are participants in the FarFish research and development project, funded by the Horizon 2020 European Research Program. The project aims to promote the European Fleet's access to non-European waters, to increase knowledge of the fish stocks that the fleet visits in those areas, to identify the value chains involved in catching these vessels, and to increase knowledge of fisheries management among stakeholders. fishing come; it is for both the average coastal states and European economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"About 20% of the catch of the European fishing fleet is obtained from non-European waters. These catches are obtained, among other things, in international waters and within the jurisdiction of coastal states, where agreements have been made on the accessibility of the European fleet. Agreements with coastal states exist in several ways, and what is directly related to this project is on the one hand special agreements between individual fishing companies and authorities in each region and on the other hand agreements that the European Union makes with individual states against the will of financial support for infrastructure in the fisheries sector. URLs. These negotiators have been controversial, with the European Union and the European Navy accused, among other things, of plundering the resources of poor countries, especially on the west coast of Africa. In response to this criticism, the Horizon 2020 research program has decided to support research and development efforts to promote improvements in this area; that's where the FarFish project comes into play, "says J\u00f3nas R\u00fanar Vi\u00f0arsson at Mat\u00eds, a knowledge and science community based on strong research infrastructure and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FarFish project will focus on six oceans, within the jurisdictions of Cape Verde, Mauritania, Senegal and the Seychelles, as well as international oceans in the Southeast and Southwest Atlantic. the information is made available; fisheries management within the areas will be analyzed in detail and suggestions for improvements will be made; efforts must be made to increase the responsibility of the European fleet when it comes to utilization and information; and knowledge of the fundamentals of fisheries management will be built up among coastal stakeholders and the intra-European fishing fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
, It is clear that this is an extremely important issue and that the park is not attacked as it is minimal. Although it is also important to keep in mind that if the project succeeds in promoting any kind of progress in this complex and often uncontrolled fishery, it will have a decisive effect on the development of important fish stocks and the livelihoods of many people, both in coastal countries and outside Europe. in Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
