Ce projet de coopération visait à déployer une technologie fondée sur le principe de la « blockchain » dans des zones de pêche. En utilisant ce système de stockage multi-utilisateurs sécurisé, les trois GALPA ont mis en place un mécanisme de traçabilité qui fournit des informations complètes et précises aux consommateurs de produits issus de la pêche artisanale.

Two neighbouring FLAGs cooperate to support a mobile phone app, MonPêcheur, to connect local fishers with consumers by providing them with an online platform for communicating, promoting, and selling their catches directly to the consumer.
Online sales have generated new interest since the COVID-19 pandemic, giving a renewed boost to projects such as Cabaz do Peixe. This virtual platform to sell fish to the general public from the local artisanal fishing fleet ensures the delivery of fresh and high-quality products, as well as consumer safety
