The PANDORA Project
Paradigm for Novel Dynamic Oceanic Resource Assessments
This project receives funding from the
European Union‘s Horizon 2020
research and innvovation programme
under the grant agreement No. 773713
What is the aim of PANDORA?
Increase the sustainability of EU fisheries through improved fish stock
assessments and management recommendations.
To do this, we will...
• provide new biological knowledge on fish and ecosystems,
• build more robust tools to assess future fish stocks,
• improve science-based advice to fisheries management,
• and create „Pandora‘s Box of Tools“ for scientists and practitioners.

PANDORA Approach & Methods
Collection of Co-framing of
management questions
new biological and
and scenarios with
ecological data regional stakeholders
Development of online Training courses for
tools for stock fishers, stock
assessment and assessors and
fisheries management scientists

How will you benefit from PANDORA?
Who? Participation
Get access to and up-take of Pandora’s
Policy-makers and Box of Tools
Provide input about regional
fisheries managers developments in fish stock Adjustment of fishing exploitation to
biology and ecology levels that ensure short/long term MSY
Express management gaps and Be provided with new tools, training
concerns for inclusion in courses, best-practice manuals
European models and scenarios
fisheries Transparency and more participatory
Fisheries management
Raised awareness about fish stock
General
status, ecosystems, food security
public challenges and sustainability

We’d like your input!
What are your main immediate and future management challenges,
and do you think including more biology will help?

Challenges for assessments and management in the North
Sea (What we believe is important)
• Density dependent effects: Do we need new tools for reference point determination?
• Why are some stocks not recovering to previous levels despite lower fishing mortalities?
Can we expect major shifts in the distribution of stocks under climate change? Influence
on reference points, future catch composition and the economy of fleets
• Stock structure of North Sea cod: Can we do something for cod in the southern North Sea or
is the further decrease a result of climate change?
• How can we utilize data from the industry to improve assessments and are there
possibilities for science - industry partnerships (e.g., new surveys)?
• Are there alternatives to the current management of mixed fisheries? What are the
economic and social consequences of such alternatives? What are the risk – reward trade-
offs for target and bycatch stocks? Is it sufficient if we just manage the target stocks?
• How important are food web interactions? Which interactions do really matter and can we
cope with such interactions in management?

Challenges for assessments and management in the North
Sea (What you believe is important)
• Questionnaires are currently being developed and we would
like to ask whether it is possible to distribute them among AC
members by e-mail.
• Filled in questionaires will be analysed to set priorities in the
case study
• Your opinion is important for us to ensure that the final
products are helpful
