  • About the game

    This serious game was created in the context of the Marine SABRES project to highlight the importance of economically fair, low-impact, and sustainable fishing practices.

    Marine SABRES (Marine Systems Approaches for Biodiversity Resilience and Ecosystem Sustainability) is an EU-funded research project aiming to:

    • develop better ways to manage coastal areas by taking both environmental needs and economic priorities into account;
    • reduce the negative effects of human activities on the ocean.
