ECO-CATCH Kick-off Meeting in Hirtshals, Denmark

We’re excited to be part of the newly launched EU project, ECO-CATCH! In the last week of June 2025, Anchor Lab attended the kick-off meeting hosted by DTU Aqua at their Hirtshals facilities.

Funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), ECO-CATCH brings together scientists, industry leaders, and certification bodies to transform 10 promising innovations into practical tools for reducing bycatch and protecting marine habitats. With a focus on the Baltic and North Sea, and in collaboration with sister projects in the Arctic, Atlantic, and Mediterranean, ECO-CATCH aims to promote sustainable fisheries and healthier marine ecosystems across Europe.

We look forward to contributing to the project and will be sharing updates as the work progresses. A page dedicated to ECO-CATCH updates will soon be available on our website, and to learn more about the project, check out the LinkedIn page of the ECO-CATCH Project.
