Title: Boosting Local Economies in Fishing Areas: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Initiative
Welcome to our fresh take on the Ministry's promotion of alternative income opportunities in fishing zones! The Ministry of Agriculture in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has greenlit eight innovative strategies, proposed by local collectives, to foster local enterprises alongside the fishing industry. These smart plans were scrutinized by a newly established committee, as Agriculture Minister Till Backhaus announced on Friday.
These measures will not only support local fishermen but also contribute to a more sustainable fishing industry across the north-east . As of now, six action groups have already received funding, with two more recently added. The total allocation for these projects during the current funding period (2021-2027) amounts to approximately 5.1 million euros. These funds can be utilized for projects focusing on aquaculture, among other initiatives .
Thriving in the Deep End
The new action plans, launched during the spring, primarily aim to capitalize on aquaculture within the fishing sector. Though specific equipment requirements for these projects in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have not been explicitly stated, let's dive into some general insights:
Freshwater and coastal fisheries often involve the utilization of nets, traps, and gill nets for fishing purposes. These equipment types could potentially be adapted or utilized in aquaculture settings, according to the project's requirements.
There are various trade fairs, like the "AQUA-FISCH International Trade Fair for Aquaculture, Professional and Sport Fishing, Aquarist" in Friedrichshafen, Germany, that exhibit the latest equipment and technological advancements in the aquaculture and fishing sector.
