Main Advancement –
SEA2SEE’s ambitious goal will be achieved with the development, implementation and validation of a blockchain-based platform that consolidates and analyses data from the seafood value chain, in a system that is flexible enough to adapt to changes in the value chain and brings transparency to end-consumers at its end.
