A new initiative by CIHEAM Bari to strengthen the level of involvement of Apulian small pelagic fishermen in the ITACA project.

A workshop with local fishermen was held on September 9 in Castro (province of Lecce) at the Fish Market.

During the meeting, local operators were informed about the aims of the ITACA project as a contribution to the development of innovative tools for the application and dissemination of a sustainable fishing model in which the active participation of fishermen is fundamental for the achievement of objectives.

The meeting registered a positive response from local fishermen engaged in the fishing of small pelagics that will contribute to support the cooperation between Italian and Croatian fishing enterprises towards sustainable fishing in the Adriatic Sea.
