The Mediterranean Platform of Artisanal Fishers (MedArtNet) is a group of professional artisanal fishermen, sons of several generations of fishermen from different countries of the Mediterranean Sea (Greece, Italy, France and Spain), concerned about and committed to the future of the sea, the fisheries and the fishermen. We have worked together since February 2011 in the development of a common vision and common goals. We represent the interests of artisanal fisheries, which make up over 70% of European fishing vessels.
