Social Science Aspects of Fisheries for the 21st Century

Aim of the Project

The aim of the SAF21 project is to understand how to manage socio-ecological complex systems better. This knowledge will inform the development of innovative management strategies, particularly to address a shift to new regulatory regimes, which is necessary for the success of future complex pan-European initiatives.

Summary of the Project

The SAF21 project will focus on EU fisheries, a complex system, to develop effective fisheries management strategies. The research and development will be undertaken by a group of social scientists of the future, managed by the SAF21 consortium, a mix of academic and commercial organisations.

What is unique about the SAF21 project is the way the research and training programme is structured. We offer a practical, collaborative approach to learning, combining research with developing business management skills through placements and training. Through this we aim to improve the commercialisation of R&D results, increase the employability of the researchers, expand the impact of such projects through education, outreach and communication to wider communities as well as enabling more effective fisheries management.
