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.
OCTO - Open Communications for the Ocean included BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its toolbox intended for MPA managers.
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.
Our team has developed a practical guide featuring financing mechanisms for marine protected areas, including concrete step-by-step methodologies to implement them.
