Smart4Sea

The Atlantic seafood sector faces pressing challenges, including seafood fraud, environmental degradation, marine litter, and inefficient use of resources. These issues undermine both ecological balance and consumer confidence, making it increasingly difficult to ensure that seafood products are sourced responsibly and sustainably.

To address these challenges, SMART4SEA introduces an innovative environmental traceability system designed to enhance transparency and trust across the seafood supply chain. The initiative combines cutting-edge digital technologies, circular economy principles, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to strengthen sustainability from ocean to plate.

Through this project, SMART4SEA will develop a comprehensive traceability framework featuring real-time monitoring tools, consumer engagement platforms, and pilot demonstrations to validate its impact. Fishermen, processors, consumers, and regulatory authorities will all benefit from access to reliable data and smart tools that promote responsible practices and long-term resource stewardship.
