Ecosystem based management for sustainable fisheries and healthy marine ecosystems
Main research questionThe ECOSCOPE project aims at improved fisheries management that balances a healthy marine ecosystem with sustainable fisheries. This requires a lot of diverse, accurate and up-to-date data that can be interpreted in a clear way by fishermen.
Ecosystem based management for sustainable fisheries and healthy marine ecosystems
Genetic tool for Ecosystem health Assessment in the North Sea region
Main research questionSustainable use and management of marine resources is key for good ecosystem health. Monitoring for ecosystem health assessments is currently based on morphological species identification, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and skills reliant.

Ecosystem-oriented marine modeling and management
Marine ecosystems consist of ecosystem components (fish, benthos, mammals) that interact in a complex and dynamic way.
These models could be used to answer several questions on the human impact on the structure and functional components of the ecosystem within the ecosystem-based environmental impact assessment. Furthermore, using ecosystem models, we will develop indicators that evaluate and score the effect of human activities on the marine ecosystem.

Biodiversity and ecosystem services in relation to agriculture
Ecosystem services: the services that biodiversity provides us In recent years, it has been shown that this loss of biodiversity also affects human well-being. After all, wild animals and plants provide numerous services that are crucial for producing food and creating a livable environment.

Knowledge of marine connectivity is essential to support a sustainable blue economy
Sustainable management of marine ecosystems is essential, but for this, knowledge about the functioning and connectivity between habitats and various ecosystem components is still insufficient. This is the goal of the new COST network initiative SEA-UNICORN.
