1 Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) Activities on Fisheries monitoring, aquaculture and Maritime Services and products Vassilios Lykousis Vice President of the Board of Directors, HCMR Kostas Stergiou Director of the Institute of Marine Biological Resources and Inland Waters Antonis Magoulas Director of the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture

2 The mission of the Maritime Affairs Unit..The unit focuses on novel methods and integration of different information sources for maritime surveillance, on assessment and forecasting for fisheries, and provides harmonized safety accident reporting tools for maritime, air and rail traffic, Container monitoring, transport safety, monitoring fisheries Fisheries monitoring and forecasting and aquaculture Maritime services, transport safety, search and rescue operations

Habitat modeling We used multiple datasets from standard

into habitat suitability modeling Nursery areas and spawning
