Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

Baltic

Relevant stage:

Monitoring and quantification

Related Barriers:

  • There is not enough structural support and resources available for environmental enhancement initiatives like beach clean-ups and recycling projects, which could yield a massive amount of useful information if collected in a standardised way and made public.

  • Still few experiences with citizen science approaches and platforms to assess collected data.
