At its core, the project collaborates closely with artisanal fishers, navigators, and patrol boats, the true guardians of the sea, empowering them in activities such as designing and testing new aFADs, sea turtle rescue and the reporting and recovery of ALDFG.
Together with these fishers and partners, UNU OCEANO focuses on the artisanal Mediterranean anchored FAD (Fish Aggregating Device) fisheries of Malta, Italy, and Spain to design a replicable and scalable solution for ocean conservation and a business model that benefits those who adopt these sustainable practices. Because only when fishers benefit from it, ocean impact scales. UNU OCEANO further co-leads the project together with Alnitak.
