Communications and Events
Effective communication and collaboration are at the heart of the project. Engaging with stakeholders, policymakers, and the fishing industry ensures that scientific research translates into practical solutions for bycatch mitigation. Through dedicated events, webinars, and assemblies, REDUCE fosters dialogue, shares knowledge, and strengthens partnerships to drive impactful change.
Kick-off Meeting
The project officially launched with an in-person Kick-off Meeting in Barcelona, bringing together 43 delegates from multiple institutions to set the strategic direction of the initiative. This event served as a foundation for defining key research priorities and aligning efforts across disciplines.
Bycatch challenges in the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean.
Policy frameworks and regulatory considerations for sustainable fisheries.
Technological solutions for improving bycatch monitoring and mitigation.








Annual Assemblies
REDUCE holds Annual Assemblies to assess project milestones, share research progress, and refine strategies based on the latest findings. These meetings provide a collaborative space where project partners and stakeholders discuss:
- Data analysis and research outcomes, evaluating bycatch trends and mitigation techniques.
- Policy engagement, ensuring that scientific recommendations align with regulatory needs.
- Technological advancements, such as AI-driven monitoring tools and spatial planning models.
By reviewing key developments and planning the next steps, these assemblies ensure continuous progress toward sustainable fisheries management
