The industrial EU partners are large groups and some SMEs are very ac-tive in the market of maritime surveillance. Clusters and TPs can sustain the effort towards a better integration of public and private research and fast deployment and exploitation of innovation at all levels.

In connection with marketing actions, the creation of competitive eco-nomic clusters can foster the development of coastal communities. In this context, best practices for value creation could be implemented in the fields of labeling, direct sale, processing, diversification, inter-sectoral integration, and vertical coordination.

and activities Strengthen links to local agro-food sectors (land and sea products) by promoting innovative fishery products/processing, creating networks with local tourism, and organising fish festivals, education programs (children and adults), local gastronomy experiences and environmental protection associations/NGOs.

FA4 Valorization of underutilized spe-cies/ waste or by-products FA5 Diversification of fishing activities

from the traditional activity Support twinning, partnerships and interregional cooperation among pilot projects to further develop or aggregate into a regional bioecon-omy value chain. Create mechanisms (e.g. networks, clusters) that can further support stakeholder interaction, upstream (process initiation) and downstream (end user/process output) of the value chain, and promote knowledge transfer and communication.

with feed improvements There is a general distrust on aquaculture products which need to be de-leted. Knowledge on production process and traceability have to increase.

FA7 Diversification with larger-size,

higher-value-added finfish species In each country national market requires targeted informative and marketing activities in order to increase the consumption of farmed products and improve the consumer perception on the farmed prod-ucts. Furthermore, it is necessary to promote in cooperation with producers the importance of the creation of producers organisations, determine the minimum quality standards, develop marketing chan-nels within the sector, as well as a marketing strategy, while at the same time taking into account the regional and cultural particulari-ties.

FA8 Sustainability certifications and

labeling Strategic marketing plans are important for the promotion of product development and commercialization in both traditional and new markets.

FA9 Development of floating multi-use platforms adapted to deeper waters

The social relevance of finfish/shellfish aquaculture has to be developed by raising awareness on aquaculture and processes.

Integrated multi-trophic aquacul-ture - IMTA Supporting efforts for the development and market replication of inno-vative solutions is defined highly significant in particular in the fields of aquaculture and marine biotechnology related technologies and services.

Furthermore appropriate economic and regulatory incentives could allevi-ate, through a synergistic approach, the high cost of production for feeds alternatives that makes them infeasible commercially for several farmed species.

In fact, the integration between EU nations is one of the basic steps towards the Common Information Sharing Environ-ment (CISE) promoted by EU.
