The catching of unwanted species is a pervasive problem in fisheries worldwide. In most cases, unwanted catches are returned dead to the sea as discards - a waste of natural resources and a threat to the health and stability of marine ecosystems. In North East Atlantic and Mediterranean European fisheries, discarding occurs mainly because the catch is of no commercial value, because quotas are reached, or because the potentially commercial species are below minimum size or are of low commercial value.
 On 2 February 2017, the COLUMBUS project gathered key individuals at the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) Headquarters, Vigo, Spain, to present identified knowledge, relevant to discards and the Common Fisheries Policy, from the Life-ISEAS, DISCARDLESS and MINOUW projects.
The COLUMBUS project, in its aim to capitalise on the European Commission’s investment in marine and maritime research through increased knowledge accessibility and effective transfer, triggered a science-policy dialogue between experts from three relevant research projects focused on fishing discards and EFCA.
During this meeting, EFCA were informed of new scientific evidence and updated insights of the discards problem, research progress and solutions, that could support EFCA’s actions relating to fishing discards and the application of current regulations. As well as allowing for constructive debate between experts about the activities of EFCA for the implementation of the landing obligation, it also provided a platform for EFCA to provide feedback on knowledge needs from their perspective. Issues addressed ranged from discards causes, to access and accuracy of data, modelling and risk analysis, technologies and experiences about the full documentation of the catch, selectivity, and feasible alternatives for the use and marketability of products from unwanted catch.
The meeting allowed the identification of three major areas for further exchange and collaboration: (1) data exchange; (2) risk analysis; (3) technical measures; and (4) stakeholder interaction and awareness.
COLUMBUS has committed efforts to continue supporting the sharing, uptake and application of the projects’ knowledge by EFCA. Furthermore, EFCA will further create value and maximise impact as it passes the generated knowledge down to other users.
The agenda, full report and all presentations are available at the “Knowledge on discards: A dialogue with the European Fisheries Control Agency” webpage on the COLUMBUS website.

On 4 April 2017, the COLUMBUS project released the “Use and sharing of marine observation and data by industry: Good practice guide” to help public ocean observing and data initiatives engage with Blue Growth industries. Launched at COLUMBUS’ “Coastal Observatories: Innovation meets industry” brokerage event at Ocean Business, held in collaboration with Jerico-Next, this document provides a set of guidelines on the best practices and challenges to consider when engaging with industry.
Marine data and information can deliver sustainable economic benefits, and are recognised to do so by industry and the European Commission. However, coastal and ocean observatories and public data-sharing initiatives face common challenges in demonstrating uptake and application of open marine data and information for economic development and innovation. This is critical for those initiatives aiming to deliver growth in the blue economy, particularly in terms of justifying the continued investment of public funds.
This guide is the result of both COLUMBUS’ “Open-access marine data, an untapped resource?” brokerage event, held during SeaTech week 2016 in Brest, France, and several meetings with industry where the discussions were held around the issue of making aggregating and making publicly available the data and information derived from monitoring and observing our European seas and oceans.
Delivered as the combined effort of many COLUMBUS partners, namely, EuroGOOS (Belgium), Marine South East (UK), PLOCAN (Spain), Seascape Consultants (UK), Smartbay Ireland and VLIZ (Belgium), concrete recommendations are provided on how to stimulate a dialogue between public data collectors, providers and portals, and data users or providers from the private sector.
The primary target audiences for this document are the European marine observatories and public data-sharing initiatives that cite industry as a target user group for their resources. This information could also be valuable to companies and other stakeholders operating in the blue economy who are collecting, processing and/or using marine data as part of their activities.

 The EU-funded ECsafeSEAFOOD project has published three safe seafood guides that aim to help consumers, industry stakeholders and policymakers understand the benefits and risks associated with seafood consumption. Each guide includes recommendations to help reduce possible risks associated with seafood contamination from the specific stakeholder’s perspective.
Seafood plays an important role in a balanced diet. It is a nutrient-rich food that is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals and contains a unique type of fat – namely omega-3 fatty acids, which have considerable health benefits. However, like any other food type, seafood can also be a source of harmful contaminants with the potential to impact human health negatively. For most people the overall benefits of seafood consumption (following the official recommendations) outweigh potential food safety risks.
In recent years, research has been committed to understanding newly emerging risks in relation to seafood consumption. ECsafeSEAFOOD was dedicated to assessing potential risks of seafood consumption and ways of minimising them. The three safe seafood guides are based on the ECsafeSEAFOOD project research results as well as other current scientific research results related to seafood safety. The “Safe Seafood Guide for Consumers” informs consumers of the benefits and risks associated with the seafood they eat, to help in their decision making regarding their diet. It notes that although contaminants of emerging concern can be found in seafood, research results indicate that the levels are low and do not pose a health risk for consumers, when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
The “Safe Seafood Guide for Industry” gives recommendations that will assist the seafood industry - from harvesters and producers through to wholesalers, distribution, retailers and analytical laboratories - in assessing health risks associated with seafood provision. It includes an overview of consumer perception of the benefits and risks of seafood consumption and details on the new contaminant detection methods produced as part of ECsafeSEAFOOD. It also gives advice on mitigating seafood contamination, including the effects of origin and biology, industrial processing, and cooking, on contaminant levels.
The “Safe Seafood Guide for Policymakers” will inform policymakers and food safety authorities of the latest seafood safety research results, which aim to contribute to European science-based food safety regulation, specifically in relation to newly emerging chemical contaminants which have not yet been regulated.
The three safe seafood guides were produced as a collaborative effort by ECsafeSEAFOOD partners AquaTT, AEIFORIA, Instituto de Ciências, Tecnologias e Agroambiente da Universidade do Porto (ICETA) and Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA). The guides were reviewed by external stakeholder groups including consumer associations, food safety authorities and seafood industry representatives.

 The third issue of the Sea Change project newsletter showcases a range of innovative activities taking place across Europe to boost European citizens’ “Ocean Literacy”, an understanding of the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean. The newsletter is now available to download from the project’s website: www.seachangeproject.eu.
Sea Change is a three-year EU Horizon 2020-funded project that is establishing a fundamental “Sea Change” in the way European citizens view their relationship with the ocean by increasing Ocean Literacy throughout society.
The third issue of the Sea Change project newsletter presents the exciting outreach events taking place across Europe to encourage people to become ocean literate. One such event is “Crab Watch”, a citizen science initiative where members of the public are challenged to make an inventory of beach crabs by carrying out standardised protocols. This initiative engages with the public by inviting them to share useful scientific information while also raising awareness of the impact of non-native species.
The newsletter also includes articles on the Sea Change online course entitled “From ABC to ABSeas: Ocean Literacy for all”, which offers educators innovative ways to teach Ocean Literacy. The course is available, on the European Multiple MOOC Aggregator (EMMA) in the following languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian and Catalan. To access the course, see: https://platform.europeanmoocs.eu/course_from_abc_to_abseas_ocean_liter.
Other stories include updates on recent contributions to ocean events, news from Sea Change’s sister Horizon 2020 project ResponSEAble, Ocean Literacy in the news; and key events for your Ocean Literacy calendar. A special feature on Sea Change’s Education and Lifelong Learning initiatives details how the project is empowering educators, students and educational communities to help address Ocean Literacy and advocate behaviour change for ocean health. Readers will also receive tips on how to prevent ocean pollution and are challenged to pledge to make a Sea Change at: http://seachangeproject.eu/takeaction.

A marine science iBook entitled “Harmful Algal Blooms” has been developed as part of NUI Galway’s contribution to an EU-funded European research project Sea Change. The project aims to raise European citizens’ awareness of the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean, or “Ocean Literacy”.
The iBook was launched by Professor Colin Brown, Director of the Ryan Institute for Environmental, Marine and Energy Research on 13 March at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
Opportunities to increase awareness of the ocean are limited in the junior cycle science curriculum across Europe. Dr Christine Domegan, lead methodologist for Sea Change, Whitaker Institute, NUI Galway, explains: “To co-create Ocean Literacy we need collaboration, discussion, participation and engagement across multiple stakeholders in Europe; from policy makers, to educators, and from media to mariners, children and grandparents.”
 This iBook is designed to infuse the engaging story of harmful algal blooms into teaching across the sciences. Harmful algal blooms, or HABs, occur when colonies of algae - simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater - grow out of control while producing toxins that can have harmful effects on fish, shellfish, marine mammals, birds and people.
During the launch, the author, Dr Robin Raine, from Earth and Ocean Sciences, NUI Galway, spoke about his experiences at the heart of the book. The audience was also introduced to the teaching design used within the book, which aims to ensure the content can be taken up by science teachers and students to advance a “Sea Change” in Irish and European Ocean Literacy.
The great response from both teachers and students after piloting the iBook in Irish, Swedish, and Belgian schools is a step forward to introducing Ocean Literacy into more aspects of education. Co-editors Dr Veronica McCauley and Dr Kevin Davison of NUI Galway’s School of Education, believe: “Teachers are becoming more technology-savvy in the classroom and are finding innovative ways to teach the curriculum so that it encourages personal interest in the sciences.”
The importance of the ocean, and therefore Ocean Literacy, cannot be overestimated. The ocean defines and dominates everything about our planet. It is home to most of the life on Earth, regulates our weather and climate, provides much of our oxygen, and helps to feed the human population.
Dr Robin Raine, author and lecturer at NUI Galway, says: “This book will introduce students to important features of our ocean as well as harmful algal blooms. It will act as a resource for teachers to strengthen and promote science through the topic of marine science.”

Sea Change third party AHHAA held a youth camp for teenagers from Estonia, Germany and Argentina in Tartu, Estonia from 22 - 24 March 2017.
The course brought together 15 young people and instructors who stayed in the middle of one of the largest South Estonian wetlands for two and a half days to learn about the importance of water and the health of the ocean. Fun and engaging workshops included making DIY Sea Change toothpaste to avoid microplastics, dissecting fish to learn more about the creatures that inhabit the ocean, making wallets from juice cartons to encourage recycling and learning about oil spill clean-up.
 Helin Haga from AHHAA who organised the event said: “Since talking about environmental protection in formal lecture-type settings can be difficult for teenagers to relate, we decided to hold a science camp where we take the youngsters out of town to a wetland where they could experience the effect of human activities on water first-hand.”
The teenagers also had the opportunity to learn rescue skills in icy water from the Estonian Maritime Rescue Organisation. All the lessons given over the course of the camp were framed with information generated by the Sea Change project and children were encouraged to check the project website for more information and materials and to take action to protect the ocean after the event. The participants’ feedback indicated that the youngsters plan on sharing the knowledge gained with their friends and family and will start paying more attention to how their daily consuming habits influence the ocean.

One of the current key areas of interest for the aquaculture industry is sustainable aquaculture feed, and fish farmers are always looking for sustainable feed that can make fish strong and healthy. A recently published study led by the Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC) in Spain concludes that marine feed ingredients in aquaculture can potentially be replaced by plant ingredients without detrimental effects, when appropriate feed additives are added.
 This research was made possible through combining long term research efforts in AQUAEXCEL and ARRAINA (an EU-funded project with focus on sustainable nutrition in aquaculture) with short-term studies through the Transnational Access (TNA) program in AQUAEXCEL and AQUAEXCEL2020. ARRAINA investigated fish diets with a high replacement of marine ingredients by plant raw materials as alternatives to the traditional fish meal as aquaculture feed. The conjunction with the two TNA projects allowed this study’s integrative approach investigating the impact of the ARRAINA diets on the fish’s intestinal health and integrity.
Transnational Access involves a research group in one country collaborating with one or more AQUAEXCEL2020 Infrastructures that are located in a different country to the applicant, and which offer facilities and expertise not available in their own country.
The available facilities cover the entire range of aquaculture production systems (cage, pond, recirculation, flowthrough, hatchery and disease challenge); environments (freshwater, marine and cold, temperate and warm water); production scales (small, medium and large industrial); fish species (salmonids, cold and warm water marine fish, freshwater fish and artemia); and fields of expertise (nutrition, physiology, health and welfare, genetics, engineering and monitoring and management technologies).
Interested researchers can propose projects that involve visits of one or two people to the chosen research infrastructure for a period of up to three months. Access to the research infrastructures and associated travel and subsistence expenses will be covered by AQUAEXCEL2020. The establishment of new transnational collaborations is strongly encouraged, as well as the participation of SMEs.
To read the full article in International Aquafeed, please visit: www.aquafeed.co.uk/newonline. The latest Call for Access (the fifth) closes on 17 April 2017. Find full details here: http://www.aquaexcel2020.eu/transnational-access/call-access.

You can read the second AQUAEXCEL2020 Newsletter now. The newsletter features ‘AQUAEXCEL2020 News and Highlights’ including, for example, a success story from the TNA programme, a feature of a partner’s TNA facility, and latest information on the Training Courses including the two successful, past courses.
The section ‘Fish’n’Co.’ features one of the fish species studied in AQUAEXCEL2020, the gilthead sea bream, and contains species information, a fish quiz and a recipe. An interview with the WP8 leader on biosensors and the ongoing research of the team is also included.
Dr Jaume Pérez-Sánchez said: “Implanted biosensors are devices capable of monitoring the physiological status of a fish in a minimal invasive manner measuring biochemical or physical parameters. We can measure physical activity through things like respiration rate for example, to get an idea if a fish might be hyperactive and potentially stressed or if it shows barely any activity at all, which also indicates a problem. This is important because understanding if the fish in your aquaculture facility are healthy and thriving is vital information. If they are not, you have a problem. Our plan is to have the first prototype ready by the end of this year.”

 The AZTI and EEAcademy Summer School has been announced and coincides with Oceans’ Day on 8 June. Its title is “The Water Framework Directive implementation: is it possible to achieve good ecological status in European waters, from the lessons learnt?”
According to the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC), European Union Member States should have achieved good ecological status in all surface waters (lakes, rivers, transitional waters and coasts) by 2015. However, a high percentage of European water bodies remain below this threshold.
Since 2000, European countries have worked in developing assessment tools, intercalibrating these methods, implementing programmes of measures to reduce pressures and achieve good ecological status. However, to some extent, these efforts have not been recompensed with a generalized increase in the quality.
The topic for this summer school relates to the lessons learnt from the implementation of the WFD, in freshwaters and marine waters, and to determine which actions should be taken to improve methods, measures and approaches to finally achieve good ecological status in all European waters. The attendees will acquire new knowledge on recent trends in aquatic research, in relation to the management and governance of water bodies. This summer school will focus on the integration of different sciences (i.e. social, economic and ecological) as a means to enhance the potential of our aquatic systems through adequate management and governance. This course will explore this at different research and management scales (e.g. scientific, local and national governments and European scale).
The main objective of the school is to give an overview on the lessons learnt from the WFD implementation and extract conclusions to adapt it in the near future and achieve good ecological status. As an important outcome of this course (in addition to the presentations, which will be freely available after the school), the professors participating in the course will prepare an open access position paper on this topic, to be submitted to a broad scope scientific journal (e.g. PlosOne). This will be a cross-cutting review: Where are we now and where are we going in this topic?
There is an early registration fee available until 25th April : Standard €90.00 - Student €70,00.
The programme and further details are online: http://www.azti.es/mailings/infoazti/docs/AZTI_summer_school_2017_programme.pdf.

The Norwegian Sea acted as a CO2 source in the past. It pumped the greenhouse gas into the atmosphere instead of absorbing it, as it does today. At the same time the pH of the surface waters in these oceans decreased, making them more acidic. Both of these findings imply changes in ocean circulation and primary productivity as a result of natural climate changes of the time.
