Innovative Tools to increAse Competitiveness and sustainability of small pelagic fisheries

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Italy - Croatia

Date of latest update: 2023-05-27

Description

Description (EN):

ITACA tackles the competitiveness of Adriatic fisheries sector, fostering the introduction of blue innovation and improving the sustainability of catch activities. ITACA focuses on small pelagic (SP) fisheries, meaning the fishing activities targeted on two main ichthyic species: anchovy and sardine that represent a significant share of income for the sector in the Adriatic. ITACA project contributes factually to the growth of the SP fisheries sector setting up (WP3), testing in 7 pilot regions (WP4) and fostering the large scale application (WP5) of innovative SMEs oriented tools to increase the competiveness of SP fisheries, together with establishing a SP fisheries enterprises cluster for a co-management of Adriatic ichthyic resources oriented to sustainability. Information added on 2020-05-18, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019) (English language only): The ITACA project is developing a predictive software tool capable of supporting fishermen in planning daily catching activities in order to improve operational effectiveness and market orientation. These tools can include scenario like COVID and propose solution for the fishing volume, in addition cluster of the operators can manage more easily all the stop and go caused by future pandemia on fishing.

Achievements (EN):

The ITACA project aims to promote the competitiveness of Italian and Croatian fishing companies in the Adriatic Sea with a view to sustainability of fishing for small pelagics, in particular anchovies and sardines. The project has developed a WebAPP, which makes it possible to predict the selling price of the fish product and to calibrate the fishing effort on a daily and / or monthly basis in order to ensure better management of the fishing activity and the sustainability of fishing in Adriatic. Furthermore, ITACA has encouraged the creation of a cluster between the POs of blue fish operating in the Adriatic, to improve the level of competitiveness of the Adriatic product in general also on international markets.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The wide participative approach applied by ITACA, in involving the main project target groups (i.e. the SP fisheries enterprises) will ensure the ownership and the long term durability of its main outputs and results. In this scenario, the PPs will jointly appoint a "Cluster management body" that will be an independent body either will be establish inside an existing subject and will be responsible, with own resources both in financial and in managerial (i.e. staff, seat, organisation, etc.) terms, of all the aspects linked to the ordinary running of the same cluster, bearing the long lasting effects of a shared governance of SP resources in the competitiveness of SP fisheries enterprises and in the sustainability of fishing effort.
