Summary
The main challenge of the project lies in addressing the complex and interconnected impacts of climate change on Atlantic aquaculture systems.

To face this challenge, CLIRAQUA proposes to evaluate the vulnerability of aquaculture species and environments to changes in temperature, salinity and water quality, ensuring the sustainability of the sector, and to promote climate adaptation and risk prevention through innovative methodologies and restoration of key ecosystems, strengthening climate governance and participation. The results include a data lake with climate projections, interactive vulnerability maps, adaptive management protocols and an early warning system for diseases.

Transnational cooperation will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and the development of scalable solutions that boost the environmental and economic sustainability of the aquaculture sector.
