At the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), our commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 14 - Life Below Water - drives our efforts to support healthy aquatic ecosystems and promote sustainable practices in fisheries and marine environments. We understand the vital role oceans, seas, and freshwater resources play in biodiversity and food security. Our focus includes research that addresses challenges like overfishing, pollution, and climate change. By integrating education with practical solutions, we prepare students and researchers to tackle these issues effectively. We also engage with local communities and organizations to raise awareness about protecting aquatic life. Through workshops and outreach initiatives, we advocate for responsible fishing practices and sustainable management of aquatic resources. Our dedication to SDG 14 is part of our mission to ensure that marine and freshwater ecosystems thrive for future generations.
As part of our commitment to Life Below Water sustainability, we have initiated transformative projects that address both the ecological and economic aspects of fisheries. By integrating scientific research with community involvement, we aim to foster responsible fishing practices that ensure the health of aquatic ecosystems while supporting the livelihoods of those who depend on them.
