The effects of climate change, such as ocean warming or the lowering of pH values, could lead to a reduction or migration of fishing stocks during the next 15 to 20 years, due to possible changes in the swarming and spawning behavior of the stocks. The bulk of the deep-freeze raw goods for the German fishing industry currently comes from countries which are not members of the EU. In the future, therefore, a more effective management of available resources and a stock-maintaining management of fish species for the supply of the market will be necessary.
INKA BB sees itself as an innovation network encompassing academia and business practice that brings about change proactively. As a role model and partner, the network wishes to disseminate findings and initiate learning processes. To achieve this, we combine the region’s existing expertise of research institutions, public administrations, business enterprises and associations. The network operates in Brandenburg with a federal state-wide focus. Most site- and company-related measures are undertaken in the regions of Lausitz-Spreewald and Uckermark-Barnim, as well as in the metropolis of Berlin.
