About IIM-CSIC
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) is the largest public institution dedicated to research in Spain and the third largest in Europe. Belonging to the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the Secretary of State for Research, Development and Innovation, its main objective is to develop and promote research that will help bring about scientific and technological progress, and it is prepared to collaborate with Spanish and foreign entities in order to achieve this aim.
The Institute for Marine Research of Vigo (Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas de Vigo, IIM-CSIC) is a public research center belonging to the CSIC. The IIM-CSIC comprises four departments: Oceanography, Ecology and Marine Resources, Biotechnology and Aquaculture, and Food Technology.
About LIFE iSEAS
Discards constitute a purposeless waste of valuable marine resources which plays an important role in the depletion of marine populations.
The main objective of LIFE iSEAS is to demonstrate that a sustainable scenario (in terms of biological and socio-economic indicators) of the EU fisheries is possible through the enhancement of the real application on the fishing sector of existent knowledge and innovative solutions for discards reduction and management.
With the contribution of the LIFE financial instrument of the European Community
