The prime goals of ClimeFish are to support sustainable fisheries, enable an increase in European aquaculture production, facilitate employment and regional development through effective forecasting and the development of management tools for adapting fisheries and aquaculture to climate change.

ClimeFish actively engages stakeholders by arranging meetings where analytical and participatory tools are combined to generate new knowledge that has scientific acceptability, policy relevance and social robustness.

ClimeFish liaises with other national and international research projects - such as CERES - that are also highly relevant to the future management of marine resources in Europe within a changing environment, by incorporating socio-economic and legislative issues.
