![]() A new LIFE for Low-impact fishers of EuropeThe first Baltic workshop of the Low-Impact Fishers of Europe (LIFE) platform took place in Ustka(Poland) on August 29th.
During the two-day meeting, participants agreed on a framework for a
more organised cooperation in the Baltic and looked at different market
opportunities for low impact fishers, such as direct sales and short
chain distribution circuits. The meeting brought together around 35 participants, including small-scale fishermen, FLAGs and NGOs from Germany, Sweden, Poland and Denmark. Henrik Andersson, a member of the Stockholm FLAG (Sweden) showcased the Axis 4 Stockholm fiskmarket project, explaining its different development phases and the role played by the FLAG and fishermen in the success of the project. Other project examples such as the Oresund Community Supported Fishery and a selection of FARNET best practices were also presented to illustrate new routes to market and new ways to add value to locally caught fish. The meeting concluded with the adoption of a Common Statement. The LIFE platform is planning two more workshops dedicated to low impact fishing in the Atlantic and Mediterranean basins. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
