Of the 104 species tagged by ETN researchers, 17 (16.3%) are currently considered to be at risk of extinction, falling into the categories of Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered. Another 10 species (9.6%) lack sufficient data for proper classification.

At ETN, much of our research focuses on understanding the exposure of aquatic species to these factors and provide the data required to address them.

For example, by tracking their movement patterns, we can support the development of more effective conservation and management strategies—such as creating new marine protected areas or improving existing ones.

We also monitor invasive species in European waters, including the Atlantic blue crab—native to the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico—and the Chinese mitten crab, originally from East Asia. 🦀
