Description du projet
Protéger le secteur de la pêche en Europe grâce aux flux de données Copernicus et GEOSS
Le secteur de la pêche de l’UE est le quatrième au monde. Il est donc important de développer et de protéger l’exploitation durable des ressources aquatiques. Cela nécessite une surveillance précise et continue. Dans ce contexte, le projet NextOcean financé par l’UE vérifiera si les données Copernicus et GEOSS peuvent être utilisées par les autorités chargées de la pêche pour améliorer le contrôle des ressources marines et par les entreprises de pêche pour attester de leur conformité à la durabilité en apposant un écolabel identifiant la provenance du poisson. Les données pourraient également aider les régulateurs de l’aquaculture à évaluer l’impact des fermes piscicoles. Le projet organisera des ateliers et des sessions de formation pour informer la communauté au sens large de l’utilisation des services commerciaux d’observation de la Terre.
Objectif
The societal need for sustainable exploitation of aquatic resources, requires support to monitoring need to ensure
sustainable fishing, increasingly resorting to aquaculture, and a tighter control on fishing activities provides an opportunity for
commercial EO services in this area. Based on Copernicus and GEOSS data and resources, it is now possible to implement
commercially-oriented services for 1) fishing authorities wishing to have an improved control over marine resources; 2)
responsible fishing companies willing to certify their compliance to sustainability by ecolabeling fish provenance; 3) the fast
growing aquaculture industry assessing their risks and potential revenues; and 4) aquaculture regulators in understanding
the impact of fish farms, in order to decide based on bespoke scientific solutions. NextOcean is proposed by a consortium of
companies, research institutions, a business school and a buyers group supporting the development of innovative services.
It targets fishing and aquaculture by proposing EO commercial services for the public and private sectors. It builds on past
activities, proposing an integrated solution.
The services will address 4User Scenarios: Monitoring Fishing Activities and Impact; Mimisation of Bycatch and
Ecolabeling; Monitoring Aquaculture Impacts; and New Fish Farms.
The involvement of the potential clients is done progressively, with an initial group of Alpha Users already engaged,
supporting co-design of solutions. The buyers group is then enlarged to a wider group of beta testers and potential clients,
who will define further evolutions, and the path to integration into their decision-making processes.
NextOcean will define clear KPIs and success criteria for the services, including on the integration in the value chain.
Dedicated workshops and training sessions will be held with the larger community, where the services will be advertised,
explained and assessed in light of the interests and knowledge of the communities
