Abstract
In
this issue of MedFAR, Spotlight corner introduces CERES project. CERES project
is funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Program
under grant agreement No. 678193. CERES is led by Prof. Dr. Myron PECK
(Institute of Hydrobiology and Fisheries Science, University of Hamburg). It is
a four-years project which started in March 2016.
CERES
covers a wide geographic area across European marine and inland waters. From
marine regions which are open systems (NE Atlantic, Arctic) to enclosed basins
(Mediterranean and Baltic sea).
26
research Institutions (including Mersin University) and industry partners from
15 countries are involved in CERES. Several Mediterranean institutions and
industry partners are in CERES project.
In
short; CERES has adopted a proactive approach towards interaction between
climate change and capture fisheries/aquaculture industries. It is constructed
around two main pillars namely; awareness building concerning climate change
and its potential impacts on fisheries/aquaculture at sectoral levels
(Stakeholders) and understanding and anticipating the impact of climate change
on capture fisheries & aquaculture production systems to formulate
appropriate adaptive management measures.
CERES
focuses on cause-and-effect understanding of how climate change will influence
Europe’s most important fish and shellfish resources and the related economic
activities. And will provide the knowledge and tools needed to successfully
adapt European fisheries and aquaculture sectors in marine and inland waters to
anticipated climate change. CERES will identify and communicate risks,
opportunities and uncertainties thereby enhancing the resilience and supporting
the development of adaptive management and governance systems for both capture
fisheries and aquaculture within blue growth concept (http://ceresproject.eu).
A
leading aquaculture producer in Eastern Mediterranean, both Turkish marine (Sea
bass & Sea Bream) and inland (Rainbow trout) aquaculture sectors are
integrated in CERES Project through several work packages. Mersin University is
an academic partner institution in CERES while Kılıç Seafood is engaged in the
project as an industry partner.
