The main objective of the COLMED project is to promote the use of jellyfish as a new marine resource on the Spanish Mediterranean coasts, highlighting them as a groundbreaking source of collagen. To achieve this goal, the project is structured around three specific objectives outlined below:
- Diversify the income sources of the artisanal fishing sector, thereby supporting the continuity of their livelihood.
- Implement a jellyfish harvesting network to produce products through the application of technological processes.
- Raise public awareness about jellyfish, their added value, and the marine environment.
