In August 2022 Eurocigua II - An integrated approach to assess the human health risks of ciguatoxins in Europe – was launched. This project builds on the success of the EuroCigua project and the CLEFSA project (which identified ciguatoxins as key emerging risks linked to climate change). Eurocigua II comprises eleven international organisations, five Member States, EFSA, ECDC, EEA, the European Commission, FAO and IOC-UNESCO. The objectives of this project include: environmental data collection and modelling, predicting, and mapping the emergence of ciguatoxins in fish in Canary Island hotspots under climate change. The Eurociqua II project will run until October 2025, with the project's final workshop planned for Fall 2025.

More information on the Eurocigua II project can be found by visiting the Spanish Ministry of Health website and by visting EFSA’s websites on Ciguatoxins and other marine biotoxins and Climate change and food safety.
