The BlueSeeds team travelled extensively between April and June 2019 to strengthen our network of pilot sites and develop innovative technical solutions for conservation.
Among these, our trip to Cabras, Sardinia, enabled us to work with the Medsea Foundation and the MPA “Peninsola di Sinis – Mal di Ventre” teams on the mechanisms to be put in place to protect the Posidonia meadows, which are abundant in the area. Exchanges with fishermen’s cooperatives, yachtsmen’s associations and the town council’s services have enabled us to gain an exhaustive view of local pressures and issues and to calibrate BlueSeeds support as best as possible.
OCTO - Open Communications for the Ocean included BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its toolbox intended for MPA managers.
For the third time since May 2019, BlueSeeds has joined the WWF Adria team in Lastovo, Croatia to set up a Blue Local Incubator.
On the island of Syros in Greece, BlueSeeds facilitated the first FLAG (Fisheries Local Action Group) working on MPA and socio-economic development.
