INTERREG III B ARCHIMED

MEDITERRANEAN SMALL CRAFT FISHERY AND DEVELOPMENT

This project aims to set up an innovative and experimented model for the regeneration of artisanal fishery as an economically viable employment option, by making use of surplus and underused products.

The model involves identifying species for possible use, and setting up procedures for accountability, quality certification and seals showing that the product is environmentally friendly, providing a guarantee for the consumer, protecting the environment, and favouring the insertion of youth and women in the labour market.
