CIBBRiNA

We are working together to minimise bycatch of Endangered, Threatened and Protected (ETP) species in the North-East Atlantic, Baltic, and Mediterranean seas. Using cross-border and cross-sectoral collaboration involving stakeholders from 13 European countries, we are establishing regionally coordinated mitigation, monitoring, and assessment programmes in a selected group of fisheries with a higher risk of bycatch. Within a proactively fostered working environment characterised by mutual trust, safety, and cooperation, the consortium will build on a review of current approaches and learning from the case study fisheries to deliver an innovative toolbox designed to be integrated into policy and best practice in European fisheries management. CIBBRiNA is funded by the EU’s LIFE programme and runs from 2023 to 2029.
