The iFishing project aims to develop functional and intelligent fishing gear for octopus fishing. In this context, it integrates modular solutions, including easy-to-assemble and repair connecting elements and structural profiles based on bio-based polymeric solutions, which, individually or in combination, enable the development of new intelligent artefacts for fishing activities.

By combining technological innovation with the principles of circular bioeconomy and sustainable fisheries, iFishing contributes to the ecological transition of the fisheries sector, in line with the objectives of the National Strategy for the Sea and the European Green Deal. The project also promotes the reduction of environmental impacts through the minimisation of the ecological footprint of fishing gear, supports the digitalisation of the blue economy through the implementation of real-time data collection and analysis systems, and contributes to climate adaptation by fostering more sustainable and resilient practices within marine ecosystems.
