Help Desk
Funding Support for Sustainable Fishing
The LIFE-PROMETHEUS Help Desk provides direct support to professional fishers in the Mediterranean, assisting them in accessing financial incentives to transition towards sustainable fishing practices and reduce bycatch of endangered sharks and rays. By securing grants, subsidies, and funding opportunities, the Help Desk empowers professional fishers to adopt eco-friendly technologies, target Invasive Alien Species (IAS) like lionfish and blue crabs, and enhance market access through sustainability certifications—all while preserving their livelihoods. By facilitating access to innovative bycatch reduction tools, sustainable fisheries subsidies, and eco-certification incentives, the LIFE-PROMETHEUS Help Desk guarantees that fishers can contribute to marine conservation without incurring economic loss.
Join us in protecting marine biodiversity while ensuring a thriving fishing industry. Contact us today to access funding and be part of the solution.
