Risk based reduction of microbial pollution discharge to coastal waters (MARECLEAN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2006, End date: Dec 31, 2009,

Background Thirteen percent of Europe’s coastal bathing waters do not meet the standards set by 76/160/EEC Bathing Water Directive. In France, 20% of bathing waters are expected to be non-compliant unless action is taken. Pollution mostly comes from point sources and domestic wastewater. Tourism and demographic pressures in coastal areas are making it ...

Benign and environmentally friendly fish processing practices to provide added value and innovative solutions for a responsible and sustainable management of fisheries. (BE-FAIR)

Start date: Nov 15, 2005, End date: Nov 15, 2008,

Background The FAO estimates that around of 27 million tonnes of undesired by-catch from fishing fleets are thrown back into the sea annually. This means that more than a third of the fish volume caught every year is wasted and such large amounts of organic waste thrown into the sea have severe adverse effects on the ecological equilibrium of marine commu ...
