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.
OCTO - Open Communications for the Ocean included BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its toolbox intended for MPA managers.
La conservation et la protection de l’environnement vont-elles se cantonner à des enjeux de second plan face au redémarrage économique ?
The BlueSeeds team travelled extensively between April and June 2019 to strengthen our network of pilot sites and develop innovative technical solutions for conservation.
