Local action for biodiversity in fisheries and aquaculture areas.

 

Preserving ecosystems and biodiversity does not have to come from the top. Fisheries Local Actions Groups (FLAGs) are local partnerships supported financially by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) to implement local action for the development of the fisheries and aquaculture area in which they are active. We will discuss together how Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) can support the implementation of the biodiversity strategy in fisheries and aquaculture areas by exploring three local initiatives that shows how biodiversity protection and restoration can also be a local source of economic development. The agenda and the description of the projects is here.
