EU Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

Climate change and European aquatic resources (CERES)

Description

CERES was a four-year project funded by H2020 aiming at investigating how climate change affects different European fish/shellfish species and how European fishermen and fish farmers can adapt to climate change.

Tangible results: The project developed a set of online tools providing stakeholders with invaluable data and suggestions for mitigation measures on climate change such as the type of fish and shellfish that will be profitable to farms, or which fish to breed, or sea plant to grow best in certain environmental conditions.

Application/relevance: The project submitted a number of different reports including Industry- and policy-driven conceptual frameworks of climate change impacts based on stakeholder engagement, a MET database with data on the cultivation thresholds of aquatic animals and plants on the Maritime and Environmental Thresholds for Aquaculture database to be used by stakeholders. Also, CERES developed 4 potential socio-political scenarios that might occur in the future and discussed them with stakeholders, which is fostering knowledge and experience exchange.
