Expected Impact

Scientific and technical impact

GIFAMAN is expected to produce high scientific impact as it joins together experts in fisheries genomics with experts in fisheries assessment, ensuring an efficient transference of scientific results into the fisheries management process.

Research produced during the project will be appropriately disseminated, ensuring that all developed methodologies, results and implications are available to the scientific community.

HOW?

  • Scientific publications
  • International conferences
  • Participating in ICES assessment
  • Participating in STECF meetings
  • Regular meetings with the administration

Innovative genetic tools

The project will develop innovative genetic tools and new approaches to apply them to marine species, being of potential interest to a broad scientific community, not only fisheries scientists.

Social, economical and environmental impact

Climate Change

GIFAMAN will tackle the challenge of developing tools for better managing fisheries resources in a context of climate change. Being the marine environment and its resources an important source of goods for humans, the project goal on its own makes this research particularly relevant from a environmental perspective.

Society

The project deals with a very valuable resource on which many people live, which coupled with the current social awareness to eat healthy food and take care of the environment, makes the outcomes of immediate interest to the general public.

Economy

The outcomes of the project will have a direct impact in improving the assessment of fisheries resources, which will be translated into a better calculation of Total Allowable Catches that will ensure a sustainable use of the resource, that is obtaining a maximum yield without compromising its continuity.

Beneficiaries

The range of beneficiaries of the project results is wide and ranges from public authorities responsible for fisheries management, scientific communities and marine research institutes, fisheries dependent local communities, sectors related to the exploitation of natural resources and civil associations promoting environmental protection. HOW?

  • Open webinars
  • Stakeholder workshops:
  • ICES working and benchmark groups
  • Chairs of the ICES Advisory Committee
  • Relevant fisheries parties (e.g. OPPAO, SWW AC and Private shipowners) and members of the European Commission DG Mare
