Where we are working

Our work focuses on different fisheries through eight case studies, to ensure that we produce a suite of measures which are both feasible for fishers and effective in minimising and where possible eliminating bycatch.

These cover a rich variety of small-scale and large-scale fishing operations, using gear including:

  • Gillnets
  • Deep-water longlines
  • Surface longlines
  • Pelagic trawls
  • Bottom trawls

Through collaborative research with these fisheries, CIBBRiNA will produce new knowledge applicable across Europe.
