Everyday in the European seas, around small-scale 75,000 fishers go to sea without knowing if they will be able to earn enough to make a living.\u00a0The EU\u2019s small-scale fishing fleet (SSFF) represents the majority of fishers in Europe, accounts for over 70% of its active fishing vessels and provides 50% of the jobs at sea, and yet they are the \u2018forgotten fleet\u2019<\/strong> – overlooked by successive European fishing policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LIFE believes that with a bottom-up approach<\/strong>, small-scale fishers can be brought from the periphery to the centre of EU fisheries policy making and management processes, building their capacity as actors of change in the ground, and driving the long-term changes that are essential to achieve sustainable fisheries and food systems.<\/strong> Making this transformation a reality is a massive challenge, and we can\u2019t do it alone. More than ever, we appreciate the support of our partners who make this work possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

By supporting us, you\u2019re investing in the fairness and sustainability of our fishing communities, our food systems\u00a0 and our seas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
