EcoOcean

EcoOcean is an innovative brand dedicated to raising awareness about sustainable fishing practices through dynamic and engaging interactive applications. Developed under the auspices of the Cluster of Excellence "Future Ocean" at Kiel University, EcoOcean combines scientific research, programming expertise, and artistic design to address critical issues surrounding fisheries sustainability. Their flagship product, an interactive computer game, immerses players in the complexities of fisheries management by simulating the common pool problem, where players compete for a shared fish stock.

This educational game not only highlights the consequences of overfishing but also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication in achieving sustainable outcomes. By illustrating the economic challenges associated with marine resource exploitation, EcoOcean seeks to provoke thought and discussion around property rights and sustainable fishing practices, making a significant impact on fishery management conversations in Europe and beyond. EcoOcean is committed to fostering understanding and facilitating solutions for the pressing challenges facing marine ecosystems today
