Regional and local ambitions for sustainable fishing
The Sud Region, due to its extensive maritime territory, has significant ambitions for the development of the fishing industry. In April 2022, the launch of the “Parlement de la Mer” marked this commitment, with ambitious objectives such as creating thousands of jobs by 2030 in sectors like boating, fishing, aquaculture, sustainable tourism, and renewable marine energies.
