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 is back on the island of Lastovo, in Croatia for its Blue Local Incubator, aiming to incubate 7 microenterprises and involve islanders in the local actions of marine conservation.
In the framework of the coordination of the Together for the Med network, BlueSeeds oversaw the creation of a platform featuring all the projects of the partners working to reduce fishing pressures in the Mediterranean.
BlueSeeds was present at the Ocean Pavilion of the 45th G7 summit to talk about marine conservation and MPA financing.
