Having as a main objective, not to give fishermen a fish (salary or money) but to teach them how to fish ( provide quality experiences to tourists), our partner Enaleia in partnership with the Costas M. Lemos Foundation, has already started implementing our joint project ‘Fish Smarter’ with trainings on fishing tourism in Milos, Kimolos, Zakynthos and Lefkada.
Our main objective is to establish win win correlations between fishermen and marine environment. We plan to achieve this by teaching fishermen about alternative paths that they can create income for them, such as fishing tourism. To teach them that instead of overfishing, killing sea turtles and seals to make ends meet, they should capitalize these marine resources, so as to demonstrate an authentic image to Greece to travelers, who will be willing to pay for this.
