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 launches BlueMooring, a platform to manage moorings and collect fees which is intended for marine protected area managers.
Upon the request of the Maltese government, BlueSeeds trained the national MPA network on financial planning and worked on the validation of their business plan.
Our call for interests to join our Blue Local Incubator in Lastovo, Croatia resulted in 21 entrepreneur applications to work on the idea of a sustainable island!
