Ida-Soome FLAG on toetanud mobiilirakenduse loomist Soome siseveekaluritele oma kalapüügiandmete registreerimiseks. Rakenduskõrgkooli välja töötatud ja 2020. aasta mais kasutusele võetud tööriist aitab parandada püügiandmete kogumist ja jälgitavust kogu kalanduse väärtusahela ulatuses.

This study provides quantitative and qualitative information on algae-related projects funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) through Fisheries Local Action Groups (FLAGs). The findings outline the levels of knowledge and interest amongst FLAGs in working further on algae production in contributing to their areas’ local development. In addition, the study improves the understanding of the challenges and opportunities perceived by FLAGs in the future support of algae-related activities in their areas.

A large-scale cooperation project between Baltic FLAGs has increased knowledge on the impact the growing seal and cormorant populations are having on small-scale coastal fisheries in the region. Through this cooperation project, FLAGs have developed solutions for achieving the balanced management of marine resources.

Läänemere piirkonna kalanduse kohalike tegevusrühmade (Fisheries Local Action Group, FLAG) ulatuslik koostööprojekt on suurendanud inimeste teadlikkust selle kohta, millist mõju avaldab hülge- ja kormoranidepopulatsiooni kasv piirkonna väikestele kalandusettevõtetele. Selle koostööprojekti kaudu on FLAG-id loonud lahendusi, mis peaksid aitama mere elusressursse paremini hallata.

To restore natural balance to ecosystems on the Swedish archipelago, the Stockholmsbygd FLAG has supported an initiative aimed at reinstating coastal wetlands in an effort to increase pike stocks. Key predators in the Baltic, pike are essential to maintaining biodiversity and healthy waters in the area.

Through the MedAves Pesca project, the Oeste FLAG joined together with the Portuguese NGO SPEA to enable better communication and interaction with the fisheries sector. This joint project focused on adapting fisheries practices to avoid the death of seabirds while fishing in the Ilhas Berlengas area.

In an effort to support marine conservation and tackle marine litter, a fisherman and his two sisters in Catalonia (Spain) developed an app and launched a campaign to promote waste collection, while practicing group sports.

Four Sardinian FLAGs have linked up with the University of Cagliari to create a waste management system for efficiently dealing with marine litter caught by local fishers.

Soome ja Poola kalurid teevad koostööd, et levitada uusi kalapüügimeetodeid, millest on kasu nii looduskeskkonnale kui ka kalandussektorile
