GENERAL INFO
DESCRIPTION
Marine and coastal tourism is one of the fastest growing areas within the world’s largest industry. Fisheries related tourism plays an important role for sustainable socio-economic development of coastal communities and, if properly addressed, contributes to the sustainable management of marine resources. Starting from relevance of Adriatic/Ionian Sea basin Strategy for the cohesion of the whole Mediterranean basin, the importance of fishing and fishing related activities in EUSAIR coastal regions and the lack of comparable data, NEMO intends to play its full part in shaping ecological and socio-economic transnational and holistic approach to develop an overview about Fisheries related tourism in Adriatic/Ionian Regions which contributes to the MED overall integrated maritime policy and acts as catalyst for coastal development protecting environment and biodiversity. NEMO provides:
– Shared methodology to standardize mapping activities, data collection/comparison regarding fisheries related tourism in the Adriatic/Ionian Regions from Institutional, Scientific/Environmental and Socio Economic level (3 folder analysis).
– Foresight study, through relevant stakeholders inputs, on fisheries related tourism development drivers at EUSAIR level interconnecting fishing activities to territory’s tourism potential and contributing to sea protection reducing fishing effort and fostering diversification.
– an Action Plan detailing concrete inputs for future cooperation projects fostering integrated marine/maritime approach, key factor for Mediterranean Basin cohesion.
