The Western Mediterranean needs rules that work for both the sea and the people who depend on it.
Good exchange today in Strasbourg with French Producers Organisation @OPduSud and MEPs @EricSargiacomo and Claire Fita on the future of the WestMed MAP.
Our compass: strong science, healthier stocks, more selective fishing — and a framework that gives Mediterranean fishers a viable future.
Sustainability and economic resilience must go hand in hand.
