The project «Fishing Blue – Support to fisheries sector in Albania» is funded by the EU and implemented by the Fondazione Accademia Italiana della Marina Mercantile (FAIMM), in partnership with the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies – MIPAAF, Directorate General For Fisheries, the Italian Cost Guard and the Belgium Research Institute For Agriculture, Fisheries And Food – ILVO. The activities are carried out in close cooperation with the Albanian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). The Fishing Blue grants, together with beneficiaries co-funding, will aim to improve elements related to navigation and safety (e.g. radio-satellite equipment), food safety (e.g. cold storage), fishing effort (e.g. gears), and environmental pollution (e.g. engines). In particular, the Grant will provide financial support to: (i) increase the safety of fishermen on the board of fishing vessels during navigation, (ii) improve the economic performance of the fishing enterprises by adopting measures aiming at energy saving and better cold storage of the catch, and (iii) decreasing the negative impacts on the environment related to water pollution and stock protection.
