At the event approximately 200 invited guests from politics, industry and science as well as gastronomy and commerce learnt about different sustainable approaches to environmentally friendly handling of fisheries products. The interactive fisheries management game EcoOcean was presented at the event by fisheries experts from the Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean” Dr. Rüdiger Voss and Julia Hoffmann. “The event surely contributed to anchoring the topic sustainable fisheries in the thoughts of fisheries economics stakeholders,” says Dr. Rüdiger Voss from the Institute for Economics at Kiel University and member of the Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean”. “Nevertheless more than a third of all commercially used fish stocks in EU waters are considered overfished. Such a campaign can therefore only be a building block for sustainable fisheries politics.”
