Le Mediterranean navies West will meet in Orbetello (Grosseto) in an extraordinary event to address the alien species phenomenon, with a special focus on the Blue Crab and on the Lion Fish. The meeting, organised by Acli Terra in collaboration with the Orbetello Fishermen's Cooperative, will be held Monday 6 October, at 17:00, at the tasting centre hall of I Fishermen of Orbetello.
The objective
The aim of the discussion is to transcend national borders, also involving the marinas of Marseille and Ajaccio (Corsica), to share experiences and best practices. The central theme will be the possibility of seeing alien species no longer as a threat, but as an economic and food resource.
The declarations
“With Acli Terra we bring together three important marinas in the western Mediterranean - Orbetello, Marseille and Ajaccio - to discuss the Blue Crab,” explained Nicola Tavoletta, National President of Acli Terra. “It will be a time of cooperation and fraternity, where we will transfer concrete solutions adopted in the different areas.”
“The meeting was mainly for a discussion on how to establish what is being done," he added Pier Luigi Piro, President of the Orbetello Fishermen's Cooperative - and what can be done to make sense of this alien species that is invading our seas.”
Guests
The event, moderated by Chiara Serracchiani (Vice President Lagin Factory), will be attended by industry experts, including Valerio Crespi (FAO official), Alberto Felici (MARAC UniCam Master Director) and Claudio Brinati (Marine Biologist). The initiative has as official Media Partner MonteCarloStyle.
