Mar 2030 Program
The Mar 2030 programme will operationalize the support of the EMAMPA in Portugal, aiming, among other objectives, to promote a more sustainable economy in coastal, island and inland regions, as well as to foster the development of fishing and aquaculture communities.
It should be reported that under the Mar 2020 OP, 12 Local Fisheries Action Groups on the Continent and three in the Autonomous Region of the Azores have been approved, which bring together several fishing communities.
There is already a set of local entities and actors, with accumulated experience in the development and implementation of local development strategies.
The Mar 2030 program aims to continue this relevant work of the various agents of the territory and civil society, strongly committed to sustainable development goals, fostering modernity and technological innovation for their communities.
