First BlueSeeds mission in Croatia


To better understand the stakes of the project, the BlueSeeds team went to the island of Lastovo in Croatia to work with the WWF Adria team developing there a Small-Scale Fishery (SSF) project. On the agenda: understanding the issues related to the local Marine Protected Area (MPA), reflection on alternative income-generating activities for local fishermen and socio-economic development linked to the MPA.
At the end of this mission, an innovative approach for marine conservation was proposed to local partners and stakeholders: the Blue Local Incubator.
BlueSeeds took part in a roundtable of the Blue Belt Programme exploring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas in UK Overseas Territories.
BlueSeeds and the WWF launch a call for interests for legal consultancy on the feasability of a mechanism aiming to help small-scale fishers get access to EU subsidies.
Our team attended the Mediterranean MPA Forum 2019 in Turkey and spoke about sustainable finance.
