The European Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Organisation EFARO

The European Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Organisation (EFARO) is an association of the Directors of the main European Research Institutes involved in fisheries, aquaculture and its interaction with the marine environment founded under a consensus agreement in 2004. It was established in recognition of the need to achieve greater cohesion and coordination of science and research in support of European policy related to the marine environment, fisheries and aquaculture. Our vision is: An integrated community of Fisheries and Aquaculture research institutes supporting sustainable development through the provision of sound science for the people of Europe. Today EFARO unites 3000 researchers and research assistants in 23 institutes in 19 European countries.
