A European Commission study on the achievements of Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) in fisheries, coastal areas and communities has been published.
The study confirms that the CLLD approach:
-
strengthens local community participation and cooperation,
-
creates and preserves jobs in coastal areas,
-
supports local entrepreneurs and new initiatives,
-
promotes sustainable fisheries and environmental protection,
-
brings European Union policies closer to citizens at the local level.
The study shows that investments based on local people’s knowledge and needs deliver real and long-term benefits for the development of coastal areas. https://oceans-and-fisheries.ec.europa.eu/publications/clld-fisheries-and-coastal-communities-achievements-and-lessons_en
