1 New challenges for brand new FLAGs

2 Common Fisheries Policy Blue Growth Climate change

3 Managing and adding value to low-value fisheries products and by-products It takes on special relevance due to the recent discarding and landing obligations What can be done? G.P: Mar de Silleiro project Responses Initiatives focusing on discarding and by-products processing to produce pet food Cross-cutting activities to assist Companies dealing with this kind of products Campaign Zero discarding for local restaurants ( Discarding atlas

Cost reduction; web tools and mobile apps to coordinate common elements, reducing production costs, transport, storage, etc. Analysis of market position prior to the launching of new products: i.e., quality-price balance strategies, exclusive distribution trough gourmet shops, etc.

5 Social dimension of fisheries Job, generational replacement, training, social inclusion Artisanal fisheries Ensuring generational replacement Fostering actual examples of good practices in sustainable fishing Promoting local knowledge as a tool to innovate managing Empreamar project Tourist training for fishermen (Finland) Choices for disabled workers (Ateliers des Gens de Mer). Good practices repository (mobile app) on commercial fishing, fish auction, fish cooking, markets... Story-telling format. Facilitating transport to remote zones ( bla bla car - like solutions) Opening inclusive coastal tracks and routes (disabled people and elderly friendly solutions) Mobile apps with information about beaches turnout, tides, traffic, parking Round tables on topics such as CFP, maritime spatial planning, Natura 2000 network Training for diversification and youth employment.

6 Environmental Conservation Guaranteeing sustainability of fishing and aquaculture activities Examples & responses Restoration of coastal and offshore habitats to improve adaptation capacity facing climatic change hazards Exotic species control measures Control and tracking of fisheries activities to improve protection, preservation and sustainability of marine resources. Actions to preserve marine ecosystems through a suitable, enviromantel friendly fisheries management. Actions to avoid environment degradation. Sensitization on marine areas biodiversity protection and good practices examples. Cultural and natural Heritage catalogue, including sea bed. Monitoring sea bed by cooperation with diving clubs and fishermen associations. Designing sea-trough routes to increase awareness about natural areas preservation Development of fishing gear based in local knowledge, for example more sustainable fishing crafts (ex. Project DORNA) or fishing gears(ex. Project DISKPAL).

7 Coastal and maritime tourism Sea side and water leisure activities: diving, sailing, nautical sports, sport fishing Tracks, museums, aquariums. Artisanal fisheries Increases the area attractiveness and makes a difference. Generates its own local products Mar Galaica Integration of different tourist products (i.e the Santiago way ) Beautifying coastal facade programs Nautical activities offering network Private sponsors for sport competition Sharing experiences with artisans a agulla na rede ( The needle on the net ) Developing smart mobiles georeferenced local information apps: about tides, species, beaches Developing health tourism in coastal areas Volunteering: sea side cleaning, natural spots rehabilitation linked to leisure/gastronomic features

8 Cruise tourism Activities on board and onshore from ports and FLAGs areas. Coordination amongst the shipping lines to offering tailor-made services in every single port: guided visits, local fishing culture,... Show-cookings, expos, quality crafts open markets.targeting cruise passengers. Talks and on board briefings on the local environmental and cultural heritage. Open air performances on board or onshore. Transport facilities for tourists on shore to improve their mobility.

9 Aquaculture Set of activities, knowledge and techniques on how to breed aquatic species. Artisanal sector Increasing cooperation New aquaculture ventures Cofradía de Conil. Acuicultura en Mar Abierto. Promoting eco-aquaculture. Sustainable use of aquaculture by-products: proper managing and value adding. Fostering restocking and disseminating the sport coastal angling possibilities. Aquaculture entrepreneurship diversification: i.e. by combining different farming techniques within the same facilities. Implementation of the FAO s technical guidelines on aquaculture certification. Educational activities

10 Marine biotechnology To take advantage of marine resources (both, biological and genetics) to generate new products ; i.e. functional foods, pharmacy, cosmetics, Artisanal fishing New supply of high quelity proteines to the agriculture sector, industry, health, Cooperation amnogst local Fisher s associations (confrarías) to achieve economies of scale. Copalis, France. Joint venture amongst fishing companies. Brand new entrepreneurship and/or diversification of existing companies towards: i.e. cosmetics, animal feed, aquaculture feed, probiotic complements, food additives, etc. To facilitate the stocking of biological raw material & samples in port facilities for the new biotechnological companies. To collect samples or perform systematic observations, useful for biotechnological companies and research teams. Dissemination about the unexplored possibilities in the area for the existing or prospective companies. Fostering pilot projects.

11 Introdución Como usala Liñas estratéxicas Mapa de recursos Conclusións Sensitizing on Climate Change Educating and qualifying fishing stakeholders on the Climate Change causes and effects on the environment and society at large, as well as to bring the coastal communities into playing an active role in mitigating and reducing the consequences of such a critical change. Artisanal fishing A key proximity factor (to the marine &coastal environment) Knowledge and expertise about the areas for the projects to be implemented. Cooperation with the researching groups. 3R-Fish Project. Fishing Industry solid Waste recycling. Dissemination activities on climate change. Data collecting activities (monitoring) Networking & information exchange between fishers and researchers. Reporting FLGs deveoped activities to other stakeholder organizations. Promoting regional and interregional dialoge on Climate Change and its cansequences. Fogares verdes (Green homes)program to be extended to confrarías verdes, buques verdes, etc.

12 Energy efficiency. A smart reduction of energy consumption by optimizing the production processes or/and the way of energy use. Artisanal Fishing Take advantage of the energy from renewable sources: i.e., solar panels, solar ovens, Peixe verde Project ITSASOA Project, France. Solar panels installation on port public & private use facilities: : booths, fish auction halls, docks and floating platforms. Solar heaters and solar ovens towards a more sustainable gastro-experience. Using of biofuels in fishing boats and/or fishing facilities onshore. Changing of lamps in fishing boats and/or fishing facilities onshore. Isolation of structures to reduce energy consumption. Seaweed composting Barcoamigo (Friendlyship)

13 Waste managing /pollution What s it? Redution, as well as re-using of waste from the Fishing Industry Artisanal Fishing Reusing of shells and other shellfish's waste Waste control and separate collection Peixe verde project ITSASOA Project (France) Reusing of waste from commercial species, especially crustaceans Reusing of waste to make different products (handcraft, fish soups ) Fishing gear recycling Increasing composting and methane production from organic waste. Collecting sea bed information in collaboration with fishermen associations. Volunteers networks focussing on sea bed cleaning Viability studies Theme/educational parks about waste, pollution, marine environment

14 Climate Change Mitigation FLAGs together with the population from the coastal areas can help in designing mitigation measures to reduce and prevent climate change Policies and good practices to mitigate and, as far as possible, avoid the climate change consequences Artisanal fishing Invading species monitoring Environmental change monitoring and alert Delta del Ebro example The possible increase in seaweed arrival to be used for different useful purposes. The invading species monitoring which becomes instrumental to identifying and quantifying their environmental effects. Marshlands recovery Cost study of predictable changes in different risk points within the FLAG's territories Ecological monitoring networks
