Sous-produits de la pêche

The “Cabaz do mar” or basket of the sea is a short chain marketing scheme set up by a partnership between TAIPA, a local development company, and an association of inhabitants and fishermen in Azenha do Mar.

The FLAG area is located on the Atlantic coast in the north of Portugal and covers 12 local administrative units in three municipalities. These municipalities have traditionally had strong economic, social and cultural links with the sea (fishing, fish markets, fish processing, canning, aquatic and nautical sports and seafood restaurants).

The FLAG area covers the entire municipality of Norddjurs, which is notable for its long coastline, made up of sandy beaches – like much of the Danish coastline. This flat coastal landscape attracts tourists from Norway and Germany – as well as domestic visitors. Tourism is the area’s dominant sector. Fishermen struggle now to make a living, but there has been an increase in the number of small businesses processing seaweed, for both food and nonfood uses.

The North Sardinia FLAG wishes to cooperate with FLAGs concerned with new start-up models led by young people, fishermen’s relatives or young people leaving secondary schools who want to create self-employment opportunities.

The Bothhian Sea and Lake Pyhäjärvi FLAG from the south of Finland is open to cooperation ideas. The FLAG has long-term experience in lake fisheries and in the development of fisheries with a strong link to water quality management.

In Chalastra, Greece, the local Thessaloniki FLAG helped two budding entrepreneurs establish a successful seafood conditioning and processing business, specialising in live blue crab.

Grâce à sa collaboration avec les pêcheurs et les créateurs locaux, et inspirée par les techniques traditionnelles d'autres communautés de pêche d’Europe, une jeune entrepreneuse française a développé un procédé innovant de tannage de peau de poisson. Elle propose maintenant son « cuir marin» aux créateurs de mode dans toute la France.

Le soutien financier de l’Axe 4 a permis à un pêcheur de l'île de Hiiumaa, en Estonie, de diversifier ses activités en dehors de la saison de pêche grâce à la production d'engins de pêche et de différentes sortes de filets. En plus de créer un emploi à temps partiel pour lui-même, le pêcheur a également créé quatre emplois à temps plein pour des femmes de l’île.

The FLAG’s area coincides with the area covered by the Municipality of Pescara, a middle size city in the centre of the Adriatic coast of Italy, its shore is characterised by typical Mediterranean scrub (“la macchia mediterranea”).
