Tender reference number	EEA/2022/MVP/0016-ExA
Title	EEA/BES/22/002 - Scoping study on Greening the blue bioeconomy and transition to sustainable fisheries and aquaculture
Description	Please note that this is not a call for tenders but a publication announcing the Contracting authority’s intention to publish a future negotiated low or middle value procedure (read more here). The European Environment Agency (EEA) wishes to acquire expert knowledge to carry out a study identifying and analysing the connection between the blue bioeconomy and marine biodiversity and ecosystem restoration and protection. At the core of this process is the ‘Nature as a solution’ (NAaS) narrative, which focuses on what would be the benefits of ecosystem-based management in environmental, ecosystem services, and socio-economic terms. In this context, the proposed contract will address what actions can be taken to protect, sustainably manage and restore marine ecosystems to address the current challenges facing fisheries and aquaculture, effectively and adaptively, while simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. This is to help the EEA in identifying policy, implementation, and knowledge gaps and where the EEA can provide added value in the form of nature-based solutions and ‘ready to market’ products for the transformative changes needed in the EU fisheries and aquaculture sectors to support marine biodiversity and ecosystem restoration. Further, it will produce a roadmap to assist the EEA plan future developments in the focus area and support policy development. Information gathering is expected to be carried out by literature review, interviews, and networking. Quantitative assessments will be explored and figures (e.g. charts, tables, infographics) suitable for incorporation in follow-up publications will be developed.
