| GAL Pesca Sotavento Algarve | Portugal | Public Administration | Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) through Local Action Groups (LAGs) with a particular focus on fostering the sustainable Blue Economy. | http://galsotavento.com/ | geral@galsotavento.com | The Blue Economy encompasses all industries and sectors related to the EU’s seas, inland waters, and coastlines. Under the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), 2021-2027, coastal areas have the opportunity to support Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) through Local Action Groups (LAGs) with a particular focus on fostering the sustainable Blue Economy. LAGs funded under the EMFAF should ensure communities in fisheries and aquaculture areas better exploit and benefit from the opportunities offered by the Blue Economy, capitalising on and strengthening natural, cultural, social, and human resources in their areas. |
