The cycle of knowledge transfer sessions for the fishing sector begins

What is the purpose of the monitoring of fishery resources carried out by ICATMAR? What is done with all the data collected? Starting in September, ICATMAR invites you to answer these and other questions by participating in the knowledge transfer sessions for the fishing sector at the main Catalan guilds.

Since 2019, ICATMAR has been conducting an exhaustive and continuous monitoring of the fishery resources along the Catalan coast. To carry this out, collaboration with the Catalan fishing sector is of vital importance. For this reason, we have decided to launch a series of talks to give back to the sector the knowledge gained on fisheries.

Starting in September, two ICATMAR members will regularly visit the ports along the Catalan coast where we conduct sampling to offer talks with information targeted at the local fishing sector. During the sessions, on the one hand, the latest results obtained by ICATMAR at the Catalonia level and at the specific port where the talk is held will be presented, and on the other hand, the assessment of the stocks of the main commercial species and other issues related to fisheries management will be discussed. After the presentations, a Q&A session will follow.

The first session was held at the Arenys de Mar guild in September. Stay tuned to find out when it will be held at your local guild. We look forward to seeing you there!
