Start year 2002 End year 2005 Funding (€) € 1,971,000 Website https://keep.eu/projects/108/Promotion-of-sustainable-fish-EN/ Summary The ADRI.FISH. project arises from the necessity to find a solution to several problems to which the Northern Adriatic Sea fishery sector has to face, following a bottom-up approach. The Northern Adriatic Sea region represents a strategic area for the CADSES area, and operators of the Northern Adriatic Sea region have to face with economical and legislative barriers along with those due to different structures, languages and communities. These difficulties still are despite the geographical closeness (few Km) between the Italian and Balkan coasts and the common historical background, and are essentially due to the mutual lack of information about social and economical aspects. Furthermore, fishing activities of the Northern Adriatic Sea up to now do not satisfy European rules and regulations concerning sustainable fishing. Therefore, planning and managing activities in some extent should oriented upon alternative operators' income raise based on already existing potentialities in the area, in order to overcome the mayor costs deriving from the adaptation to the in force laws. The ADRI.FISH. project strategy is based on enhancing promotion, qualification and diversification of fishery activities co-ordinately in the two coasts, in order to give the chance to local enterprises to develop themselves and compete with other markets. The expected results after realization of project activities are: (1) Reduction of regional disparities emerged in the Adriatic area by the application of a common methodology which allow to operate in a co-ordinate way on planning instruments carried out by the public bodies involved, becoming a model for the whole CADSES area; (2) Flattening of disadvantages and handicap which come from marginal situations by promoting the permeability of boundaries and employment recovery especially for those scales of population characterised by social discomforts; (3) Facilitate strategic choices for Regional Administrations to edit programmes conceived to use resources and to co-ordinate fishery sector with the rest of economic activities; (4) Development of sectoral SMEs due on one hand from qualification and competitive improvement of fishing products and on the other hand from the restructuring and adjustment of fishing activities to European rules and to principles such as economic and environmental sustainability; (5) Set up of structural investments in the area focused on diminishing the existing differences between the sides of Adriatic Sea and on adjusting existing structure as a modern fishing activity requires; (6) Increase the know-how level of the Organizations and Public bodies that deals with instruction, training and research about fishing. The project is supposed to have social benefits, such as promoting employment in all the northern Adriatic area and optimising migratory flows by supplying efficient job opportunities that could improve the operators' standard of life.
(1) To improve the know-how of each economical and social features among the operators at a transnational level through the realisation of a socio-economic observatory dedicated to the analysis and the study on economic and social topics; (2) To promote spatial planning development through the transnational co-ordination among public actors interested to spatial planning in the Adriatic area, which will use all data and project results for a coordinate national planning activity; (3) To set up a starting transnational action in order to realize specific fishing structures (landing and market places) in economical depressed area, through a feasibility study which focuses lacks of structures and promotes suitable investments; (4) To qualify fishery products in order to strengthen the present-day outlets and to determine a greater added value for the Northern Adriatic Sea products; (5) To improve the management of fishing activities and communication among SMEs promoting partnership among fishery operators and innovative technologies for communication. In order to achieve the above mentioned objectives, the following activities will be carried out within the project framework: (1) Realization of a social-economical Observatory located in a central area in order to outline in time the social and economic situation in the coastal sides involved at a transnational level. The action will allow to collect data about economical basins, product transformation, marketing methods, consumptions, etc.; (2) Outlining a feasibility study based on data coming from the observatory. This activity will define strategic areas suitable for structural interventions and for finding the right dimension for structures, taking into account the real requirement of fishery, in order to optimise resources and benefit for the operators; (3) Starting actions to promote fishery SME associations in the Balkan area, promoting dissemination of know-how and experience through specific institutions (i.e. Fishers Centres) by supporting association constitution and management in the Balkans; (4) Pilot actions for qualifying, promoting and marketing fishing products of the Northern Adriatic Sea that consist in creating an exclusive trademark and defining of unique marketing strategies. Pilot actions will enable traceability and certification of products; promotion of fishery products on unique and transnational marketing methods and it will start an experimental activity of e-commerce; (5) Promotion of an efficient exchange of know-how and experience, by realising a network among all partners, stages, training on job for operators and employees of the public body involved and at last a dedicated Internet gate.
