This joint call supported by 16 countries, including Malta, will be funding projects that explore:

• innovative, yet sustainable & climate-friendly utilisation
• sustainable harvesting
• novel aquaculture production systems

The aim is to create, test, upscale and bring to the market new knowledge-intensive products and services derived from a diversity of aquatic biomass. The aquatic biomass in question may have either marine or freshwater origin. Projects may also seek synergies with land-based production.
