The ProtectFish Consortium has established an External Advisory Board (EAB) which will provide feedback and advice on the project’s direction. The EAB is composed of representatives from environmental NGOs, academia, nature management representatives, EU agencies and institutions.

The EAB will be directly informed of the project’s main achievements and will contribute – as external advisory and quality assurance body – to keep the project aligned with the stakeholders’ needs and requirements as well as to maximize the exploitation and impact of the project results.

The ProtectFish External Advisory Board (EAB) members are representing the following organisations:

• European Anglers Alliance (EAA)
  
• European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Council (EIFAAC)
  
• European Commission’s Directorate-General for the Environment (DG ENVI)
  
• International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
  
• TNC – The Nature Conservancy
  
• University of Hull
