This leaflet offers practical tips for FLAGs, project promoters and local stakeholders on how they can harness algae production in their areas in line with EU’s drive to support the sector through the European Green Deal, which acknowledges the importance of algae as food and a sustainable and alternative source of protein. The Green Deal’s food system strategy, Farm to Fork, specifically targets algae production as being a key part of the solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving food sustainability.
Cooperation MS Fiche
Cooperation is strongly encouraged in Greece and the proposal of at least one (inter-territorial or transnational) cooperation project was a compulsory element of the application process for candidate FLAGs to receive EMFF funding. Some of the themes emerging most strongly from the Greek local development strategies include cooperation around tourism, thematic trails (e.g. around gastronomy, archaeology…) and diving parks.
Good Practice Project
Despite experiencing environmental strain, the Limfjord has an abundance of sea trout. This species is very attractive to anglers. A FLAG-LAG cooperation project addresses local economic and environmental goals by creating a new tourist location based on recreational fishing.

Cooperation MS Fiche
Cooperation is strongly encouraged by the programme authorities in France and FLAGs were required to lay out their plans for cooperation within their local development strategies in their bid to gain EMFF funding. In some cases, cooperation is viewed as a transversal tool to strengthen the impact of all areas of FLAG work and, in other cases, cooperation is programmed as an area of work in its own right with specific objectives.
Good Practice Project
Att utveckla småskaligt fiske och vattenbruksföretag i området för Västra Litauen FLAG utgör en central faktor för den ekonomiska utvecklingen av regioner som Klaipeda och Priekulė. Syftet med detta projekt, som genomförs av ett litet lokalt företag, är att stärka förädlingen av produkter från lokalt fiske och vattenbruk genom en rad FLAG-finansierade strategiska investeringar.
Good Practice Short Story
The Chioggia and Po Delta FLAG has successfully convinced a high school to launch an official training programme in commercial fishing and fish production. The FLAG used their animation activities, together with fisheries stakeholders and the wider local community, to attract their first groups of students who will become the entrepreneurs of the future.

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.
Good Practice Project
Ett samarbetsprojekt i stor skala mellan FLAG i Östersjön har gett ökade kunskaper om konsekvenserna av de växande säl- och skarvpopulationerna för småskaligt kustfiske i regionen. FLAG har genom detta samarbetsprojekt tagit fram lösningar för att uppnå en balanserad hantering av marina resurser.
