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 ocean is at a crossroads, and 2025 is a defining year. We are proud to be part of the global push for #SDG 14. From bycatch reduction to better data and governance, our work reflects the priorities set at #UNOC3.
