In response to this problem, the European Atlantic Area NEPTUNUS project aims to support and inform about the sustainability of the seafood sector, boosting the transition towards a circular economy through defining eco-innovation approaches and a steady methodology for eco-labelling products. This timely trans-regional European project proposes key corrective actions for positively influencing resource efficiency by addressing a life cycle thinking and involving all stakeholders in decisionmaking processes, harnessing the water-energy-seafood nexus. This paper presents inter-related objectives, methodologies and cues to action that will potentially meet these challenges that are aligned with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and European policy frameworks (e.g., Farm to Fork, European Green Deal).}, publisher = {MDPI}, publisher = {Sustainability (Switzerland) 2022, 14, 3054}, title = {Achieving sustainability of the seafood sector in the European Atlantic Area by addressing eco-social challenges: The NEPTUNUS Project}, author = {Laso Cortabitarte, Jara and Ruiz Salmón, Israel and Margallo Blanco, María and Villanueva Rey, Pedro and Poceiro, Lucía and Quinteiro, Paula and Dias, Ana Claudia and Almeida, Cheila and Marques, António and Entrena Barbero, Eduardo and Moreira, María Teresa and Feijoo, Gumersindo and Loubet, Philippe and Sonnemann, Guido and Cooney, Ronan and Clifford, Eoghan and Regueiro, Leticia and Baptista de Sousa, David Alonso and Aldaco García, Rubén}, }
