MINOUW PROJECT

The MINOUW project is partnering with clam fishermen in Portugal to assess the benefits of modified fishing gear they use to reduce discards... The MINOUW Project is made up of over 15 different maritime science institutes and bodies from across Europe, and brings together scientists, fisherman, NGOs and policy makers... The MINOUW project aims to create "a positive change in the sea" by placing fishers at the core of actions to reduce unwanted catches and discarding practices, and by using multi-stakeholder engagement in the design and implementation of actions to bring about that change.
