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.
During the FARNET event, Blueseeds discussed, alongside WWF, our project aiming to simplify Mediterranean small-scale fishers' access to European funds.
The Ocean & Climate Platform recommends BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its "An Ocean of Solutions" report.
