Marine Beacon is an EU funded project that will address gaps in our current understanding of how fisheries bycatch impacts protected, endangered and threatened species.
The project will work with fisheries, policy and conservation stakeholders to develop and test innovative, tools and techniques for better monitoring of these important species and mitigating risks of bycatch, to ensure healthier seas and more sustainable fisheries.

The project started in 2024. Results and resources will be shared when available.
