Two years after our first intervention and one Blue Local Incubator later, we are happy to be back in Lastovo’s marine protected area in Croatia!
The goal? To strengthen the local partnership, to present the results of this first BLI, and to advance on the next steps.
As a reminder, the Blue Local Incubator aims at helping 7 microenterprises to develop: eco-tourism, recycling, olive oil production, pescatourism, electric bike rental, wine tourism. We are convinced that local entrepreneurship can be a lever to involve the residents of Lastovo in marine conservation.
The same jury that selected the incubated projects a few months ago met in Lastovo: WWF Adria, the Cooperative for Ethical Financing (ZEF), Fundación Capital, Lastovo Nature Park, the municipality, and the BlueSeeds team.
During the FARNET event, Blueseeds discussed, alongside WWF, our project aiming to simplify Mediterranean small-scale fishers' access to European funds.
BlueSeeds launches BlueMooring, a platform to manage moorings and collect fees which is intended for marine protected area managers.
The BlueSeeds team travelled extensively between April and June 2019 to strengthen our network of pilot sites and develop innovative technical solutions for conservation.
