Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Common Fisheries Policy Control Regulation European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Water Framework Directive Marine Strategy Framework Directive Habitats Directive Farm to Fork Strategy EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 EU Green Deal Nature Restoration Law Marine Action Plan Energy transition of the EU Fisheries and Aquaculture sectors
Communication Activities: LIFE's current activities are centred around influencing the implementation of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy. We do this through significant and ongoing interaction with the member organisations from UK, Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Cyprus and Croatia. On the basis of information and advice received in this way we generate policy views and transit them to the Commission [DG MARE], MEP's and Member States. LIFE has already had a number of successful meetings with these elements that have provided a much clearer understanding of the sector and the benefits it provides to often remote and vulnerable coastal communities. We undertake events such as conferences and more local meetings in member states in support of our organisations therein, assist them in capacity building and work closely with them in regard to their relationships with regional and national governments. Internet: https://lifeplatform.eu/; we have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Low-Impact-Fishers-of-Europe/166393173503352?ref=hl but at present we are focusing more on practical requirements rather than social media; also LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/10235827/admin/ We attend meetings and conferences where we are able to promote the benefits of small scale, low impact fishing. In partnership with our member organisations across Europe, we are encouraging other smaller scale fishing organisations to join us. We have a number of organisations interested in joining LIFE that will assist greatly in providing added credibility to our aims and ambitions on behalf of our sector.
