Specifically, REDUCE is convening three specialized side events ( SE19, SE20, SE33) addressing fisheries bycatch, advanced monitoring frameworks, and evidence‑based mitigation measures within the context of international and national fisheries governance. Info: forum.prcmarine.org/le-programme/

We´re happy to announce that REDUCE will be participating in the 12th Edition of FOMACO, taking place in Nouakchott from 27–30 April 2026. We´ll be delivering 3 Side Events as part of this unique event of great relevance in West Africa concerning marine conservation and resources sustainability.

Happening tomorrow, a new Joint Webinar on Fisheries Bycatch by Carlotta Mazzoldi (University of Padua) from LIFE PROMETHEUS covering “Survival rates of elasmobranch species: exploring post-capture release as a fishery management and conservation measure” .

This MoU also notes the deployment of the training and fisheries cooperation vessel Intermares in Senegal at the end of 2026. REDUCE is happy to say it will be participating in that campaign organising a Workshop focused on ETP bycacth monitoring and mitigation.

Spain & Senegal strengthen their cooperation to progress in the sustainability of fishing activities in the region, highlighting the fight against IUU fishing and cooperation in scientific research of marine resources and training through joint campaigns and technical exchanges. shorturl.at/Eywyo

EU´s projetc REDUCE is implementing research actions foucsed on ETPs bycatch and mitigation measures.
We hope the outcomes of the project will be of interest for the reflections on the EU sustainable fisheries partnerships agreements.

The Long-Distance Advisory Council (LDAC) organizes a high-level event in Brussels in collaboration with the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) about the next generation of EU fisheries agreements.

Fishers’ participation is essential to strengthen the development of mitigation tools, protect marine species, and promote more sustainable fishing.
We would like to thank OPP7-Burela for its always kind willingness to host this collaborative work between the sector and REDUCE researchers.

Our colleagues at USC held another working session with the owners and captains of the OPP7-Burela long-distance pelagic fleet. We are conducting individual interviews with fishers to understand how #bycatch affects fishing operations, crew safety, and the economic performance of the fleet.

‪Remind today´s Joint Webinar on #bycatch!:
REDUCE is developing artificial intelligence solutions to automate the analysis of large volumes of visual data generated by Electronic Monitoring Systems and thus improving fisheries monitoring in ECAO.
