Fisheries resources

With support from the FLAG, local fishers are helping enforce protection measures and halt poaching in the region’s oldest fisheries marine reserve, Cabo de Palos. Its improved protection has favoured an increase of endemic species.

Through cooperation between the island government and the FLAG, the fishing sector in la Gomera has been involved in the study, location and design of a protocol for the removal of traps used for illegal fishing.

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.

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.

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

The project aims to set up transnational cooperation between FLAGs with potential for developing the FAP processing sector. This offers a valuable opportunity for fishing communities to increase the EU and worldwide market of processed FAPs while reducing overfishing. The project will focus on the following local FAPs: blue crab, mussels, sardines and anchovies.

Local fishermen in Lapland, northern Finland, create a mincing facility to process unwanted by-catch into new marketable products such as fish fingers.

The FLAG is predominantly located in rural areas where activities such as agriculture and fishing are commonplace. The region is situated between Siret and Prut, in the north-east part of Romania. The territory boarders Ukraine in the north and Moldova in the east. At the west and south it has borders with the Suceava and Iași Counties.
