The Technological Centre of the Sea-CETMAR Foundation is participating today in Madrid in the plenary session of the Spanish Network of Knowledge Spaces for the Blue Economy (REECEA), of which it has been a member since July.

The Galician institution is represented by its managing director, Rosa Chapela Pérez, in this network that aims to strengthen collaboration between science, innovation, public administrations, and the fishing and aquaculture sector.
The objective of REECEA is to advance towards a more sustainable, competitive, and equitable blue economy model, transforming the challenges of the marine sector into opportunities for growth and sustainable development.
At the meeting, members explored new avenues for cooperation, synergy generation, and proposed new joint actions, projects, and work lines, in addition to reporting on the incorporation of new entities.
REECEA, established in August 2025, integrates entities recognized by the General Secretariat of Fisheries for their specialization and innovation capacity, which act as knowledge centres in their respective fields and contribute to strengthening the network.
The network is responsible for identifying key players, integrating scientific and sectoral knowledge, organizing outreach and training activities, advising on fishing and aquaculture issues, and periodically evaluating its impact.
By participating today, CETMAR reaffirms its adherence to an entity with shared objectives: promoting cooperation, fostering knowledge exchange, driving sustainability, and developing innovative projects.
