About FLAG Vela vrata

It’s vision is to develop sustainable fisheries in the FLAG area, encourage diversification of products and services beyond commercial fishing and promote fisheries and maritime culture and heritage, thereby ensuring social inclusion, job creation, application of innovation and lifelong education.

The FLAG goals are:

2. Facilitating collective and strategic thinking in fisheries communities to shape their economic future.

3. Increasing the involvement of the fisheries and maritime sectors in management and decision-making in the local strategic planning process and strengthening synergies and reducing potential conflicts of interest in fisheries.

4. Promoting social and territorial cohesion in the community.

5. Awareness raising on environmental and nature conservation and biodiversity conservation in fisheries communities for the purpose of protecting resources.

6. Establishment of appropriate mechanisms for successful use of EU funds in order to achieve development goals.
