This deliverable describes the data framework supporting SURIMI’s marine socio-ecological modelling activities, with a particular focus on the SURIMI Data Lake as a harmonised access point for project datasets. It outlines how relevant fisheries, ecological, environmental and socio-economic data are identified, assessed, acquired and managed in line with FAIR principles and the project’s Data Management and Exploitation Plan. The deliverable also describes methods for improving interoperability across datasets with different spatial, temporal and structural characteristics, including protocols tested through Western Mediterranean case studies. It provides the methodological basis for integrating data into the SURIMI modelling suite and supporting its connection to the European Digital Twin Ocean.

This deliverable reports on SURIMI’s first stakeholder workshop, which brought together fisheries stakeholders to introduce the project, present the scientific models being integrated, and gather input to inform the development of the SURIMI Toolbox. The workshop explored stakeholder needs and concerns related to data, decision-making, model integration and the design of the toolbox interface. The report summarises the main discussions and findings, including stakeholder questions around model uncertainty, data quality, model integration and potential use by decision-makers, providing a record of the co-design process supporting SURIMI’s tool development.

This deliverable presents SURIMI’s Stakeholder Engagement Strategy, setting out how the project involves relevant individuals, organisations and initiatives in reciprocal activities linked to the development and use of its outputs. It describes the project’s approach to stakeholder engagement, including the stakeholder mapping process, key stakeholder categories, and the planned routes for participation, such as the SURIMI Stakeholder Forum, surveys and workshops. The strategy focuses particularly on supporting the long-term value of SURIMI toolbox elements, including data, socio-ecological models, the toolbox interface and integration with the European Digital Twin Ocean, through a structured sequence of co-design, co-creation and co-assessment activities.

This deliverable presents SURIMI’s Plan for the Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication Activities, setting out how the project approaches the sharing, promotion and uptake of its results. It outlines the consortium’s responsibilities in line with European Commission guidance, identifies relevant stakeholder groups, describes suitable communication tools and channels, and sets out processes for knowledge sharing and impact measurement. The plan provides a framework for coordinating communication, dissemination and exploitation activities across the project and for supporting the use of SURIMI outputs by relevant audiences.
