BioProtect Project

BioProtect is a 4-year project, funded by the EU's #HorizonEurope Programme which plans to develop innovative, adaptable, and scalable ecosystem-based solutions aimed at safeguarding and restoring #biodiversity in the Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. The project will consolidate these solutions into an Area-Based Management Decision Support Framework (ABM-DSF), which will be demonstrated at five different study sites across Europe, including Norway, Iceland, Ireland, the Azores, and Portugal. BioProtect will actively engage with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure the effective implementation and utilisation of its solutions by end-users. By raising awareness and enabling stakeholders and citizens to participate in the decision-making process, BioProtect empowers them to protect and restore marine ecosystems and biodiversity. The project is coordinated by MATIS, in Iceland, and brings together a diverse consortium of 18 partners from 8 countries.
