The ARCFISH project will develop a pilot Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) platform delivering new data products and services in support of sustainable Arctic Fisheries.
Data products and services will be co-designed with stakeholders in the fisheries sector and used to create products such as ecosystem indices in support of fisheries planning and management. ARCFISH focuses on two key regions: (1) Western Greenland, centred around Disko Bay, and (2) Icelandic waters, northwards to Svalbard and the Barents Sea.
The Greenland site is a key area for marine biodiversity and fisheries, and the Greenland economy is highly dependent on the sea and its resources. In Iceland, marine fisheries are a major component of the country’s economy and culture, and its fisheries sector represents one of the world’s most high-tech and sophisticated supply chains. Working closely with stakeholders partners will develop data pipelines generating customised data products for sustainable fisheries in the ARCFISH DTO.
