First meeting of the Platform for Cooperation of the Mediterranean FLAGs


BlueSeeds organized on the island of Syros in Greece the first working group on MPA and socio-economic development for the Mediterranean FLAGs (Fisheries Local Action Groups).
During 3 days, 4 FLAGs coming from Greece and Croatia exchanged on socio-economic development issues related to Marine Protected Areas. This platform will be a tool for sharing solutions that make conservation compatible with sustainable economic activities and local development.
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.
“Global expansion of MPAs without adequate investment in human and financial capacity is likely to lead to sub-optimal conservation outcomes”
