Bycatch, the unintentional capture of non-target marine animals during fishing, is considered one of the greatest threats to marine species globally. This threat is particularly significant for protected, endangered and threatened species (PETS), including marine mammals, seabirds, turtles and sensitive fish species, with their bycatch threatening marine ecosystem health. While bycatch of PETS is recognized as a significant issue, advances in fully understanding risks to PETS have been limited, due to current inability to effectively monitor wide ranging, highly mobile and cryptic species. There has been further lack in advancement in approaches to reduce such risks. These issues all hinder Member States ability to eliminate and significantly reduce bycatch. MarineBeacon will respond to these challenges, working across a regional seas scale to identifying where significant gaps in understanding lie, and adopt innovative approaches to produce the knowledge and tools to better understand bycatch risk and vulnerability. Next generation monitoring tools will be produced and developed to improve understanding of the distribution and abundance of PETS in addition to the levels in which they interact with fisheries. Cutting-edge mitigation tools and techniques will then be extensively tested across diverse fisheries and regions to ensure transferable outputs are generated to significantly mitigate against bycatch risk. MarineBeacon will facilitate the uptake and adoption of its targeted outputs by policy, management, and industry by adopting a stakeholder centered approach, engaging and collaborating with stakeholder throughout the project to producing best acceptable solutions. Importantly, MarineBeacon will ensure long-term applicability and impact of outputs beyond the lifetime of the project through the production of a suite of decision support tools to ensure all measures to better monitor PETS and mitigate against bycatch risk are effectively targeted.

兼例，捕鱼期间无意捕获非目标海洋动物，被认为是全球海洋物种的最大威胁之一。这种威胁对于受保护，濒危和威胁的物种（包括海洋哺乳动物，海鸟，海龟和敏感的鱼类）特别重要，并威胁着海洋生态系统健康。虽然宠物捕获的宠物被认为是一个重大问题，但由于目前无法有效监测广泛的范围，高度移动和神秘的物种，因此完全理解宠物风险的进展受到限制。降低这种风险的方法进步进一步缺乏。这些问题都阻碍了成员国消除和大大减少旁观的能力。海洋贝克（Marinebeacon）将应对这些挑战，跨区域海量表工作，以确定理解谎言中的巨大差距，并采用创新的方法来产生知识和工具，以更好地理解旁观的风险和脆弱性。除了与渔业相互作用的水平外，还将生产和开发下一代监测工具，以提高对宠物的分布和丰度的了解。然后，将在各种渔业和地区进行广泛的测试，以确保产生可转移的产量，从而大大减轻旁观风险，从而对尖端缓解工具和技术进行广泛的测试。 MarineBeacon将通过采用以利益相关者为中心的方法来促进政策，管理和行业对目标产出的吸收和采用，并在整个项目中与利益相关者合作，以生产最佳可接受的解决方案。重要的是，通过生产一套决策支持工具，海洋贝克将确保超越项目寿命的长期适用性和影响，以确保所有措施更好地监控宠物，并有效地针对旁观风险。
