Any blue idea for a green island?


For the third time since May, BlueSeeds has joined the WWF Adria team in Lastovo (Croatia) to set up a Blue Local Incubator.
This process aims to foster local entrepreneurship guided by the principles of the Blue Economy: activities that generate socio-economic and environmental benefits. The team had the opportunity to meet local people willing to develop potential ideas : Ivica, a local fisherman, who is starting out in pescatourism; Zarinka, who dreams of opening a tasting room for jams, liqueurs and olive oils she produces; Nives and her husband, who produce wine and want to engage in organic farming.
This third mission helped prepare the launch of the call for Blue Business which will remain open until November 15, 2019.
Until then, our partners will take turns in the field to support the stakeholders in formulating their ideas for a sustainable island.
BlueSeeds went to Monastir, Tunisia to deliver a training course of the efficiency and the sustainability of marine conservation projects to participants from Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
BlueSeeds launches BlueMooring, a platform to manage moorings and collect fees which is intended for marine protected area managers.
During the FARNET event, Blueseeds discussed, alongside WWF, our project aiming to simplify Mediterranean small-scale fishers' access to European funds.
