THE SEA NEEDS A VACATION, TOO!
© Kofein

Due to unsustainable and irresponsible human activities, we risk turning the “great blue” into a blue wasteland. It’s time to treat this precious and sensitive shared resource with dignity and respect.

There is fewer and fewer fish in the sea, the seas and oceans are in a critical state, and this is not being talked about in public. Many people who live for the sea and from the sea, find it increasingly difficult to find catch and earn income. Few people can afford fish because there is none. To that extent, the price of fish is unacceptable to most.

For centuries, large expanses of the sea have been considered an inexhaustible source of food and other resources. We now know that 35% of global fishing resources is overexploited, and even 63% at the level of the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

All of us who eat fish can participate in the change needed so that we don’t end up with more plastic than fish in the sea in the next 25 years. Read what we’re doing to restore the sea and take your part.

You can help, too!
"NO TAKE" ZONES

"No-take" zones are a form of protection that completely prohibits any exploitation of the undersea for the protection of ecosystems and cultural assets. They have proven to be excellent in preserving biodiversity, but also in developing the economy.

SUSTAINABLE FISHING TOURISM

Fishing tourism supports local people while saving local species. This alternative source of income can reduce the intensity of fishing activities, contribute to the sustainable management of fish resources and promote the cultural heritage of coastal fishing.

SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES

We are empowering small-scale fishers to be part of co-management schemes and to look after natural resources to improve sustainability and the resilience of both marine life and communities. The aim is to strengthen the joint management of coastal fisheries towards sustainability.
