class=\"title-3\">A difficult transition towards sustainability for small-scale fishers<\/h2>\n<p>Small-scale fishers are cornerstones of Mediterranean culture and true guardians of the coast, and they find themselves powerless in the face of these threats to their livelihood. Many of them fish in MPAs, where they can use methods that are less harmful than those employed in industrial fishing. They also have a lot of respect for tradition.  <\/p>\n<p>Substantial public funding, such as the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF, formerly EMFF), are available to support ecological transition in small-scale fishing, but they remain difficult to access. In 2020, European small-scale fishers represented 76 per cent of operating vessels, but despite this they benefited from only 3 per cent of the funding granted by the EMFF to vessels between 2015 and 2020. <\/p>\n<p>The fact is that small-scale fishers don\u2019t always have the means to cover the costs of their sustainable project up front\u2013one of the conditions of receiving a European grant. Moreover, submitting a project proposal is both complex and time-consuming. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column

proposed to the foundation to establish a pre-financing facility to foster a real change towards sustainable small-scale fishing practices in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The project aimed at developing a long-term financial revolving mechanism to accelerate the implementation of the FAO-GFCM Regional plan of action on SSF (RPOA-SSF) in Mediterranean. The partners launched a call for expressions of interest in Mediterranean communities of small-scale fishers to receive support in submitting a sustainable project to the EMFF. <\/p>\n<p>The response to the first call was outstanding: 111 requests of grants were received for a total of 1,224,000 Euros, which corresponded to more than three times the available budget our partnership had. This response demonstrated the interest of SSF in a financial mechanism that could facilitate access to EMFF funds. <\/p>\n<p>Find the projects that the fishers carried out

I also installed an autopilot and solar cells. <\/p>\n<p>I have significantly improved the energy efficiency of the vessel, reduced fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. To improve safety, I modernized the complete cabin, together with electrical installations, windows and doors. I modernized the sanitary room, and I installed an anti-slip surface, as well as railings on the roof of the cabin and the deck.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blueseeds.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/antonio-divoje-small-scale-fisher-croatia-1.jpg\" alt=\"Antonio \u0110ivoje\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Antonio \u0110ivoje<\/span><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__title\">Small-scale fisher in Lastovo, Croatia<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I completed four projects that I submitted to the 2014-2020 EMFF cycle thanks to the MAVA-funded 'EMFF' project. In accordance with the grant requirements, I was able to replace my equipment with 300 new langoustine fishing traps, increasing the mesh diameter from 36 mm to 40 mm. I've been able to capture larger specimens with a higher market value thanks to these more selective traps. Additionally, I've decreased the quantity of unwanted bycatches.   <\/p>\n<p>The beneficial effects of my new traps on langoustine populations have been verified by scientists with whom I have collaborated. More selective gear will undoubtedly support sustainable fishing and stock conservation. As a result, I encourage all of my colleagues to use these subsidies to make their activities more sustainable.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
