Antonio Gottardo (Presidente del FLAG Veneziano): “La partecipazione ai bandi dimostra, nonostante la crisi accertata e in corso della molluschicoltura veneta a causa del granchio blu, dei cambiamenti climatici e della moria delle vongole in mare, quanto il settore della pesca e dell’acquacoltura necessiti di strumenti concreti per sostenere il proprio sviluppo. Le risorse messe a disposizione sono state interamente richieste, e il FLAG Veneziano lavorerà per garantire che anche le domande eccedenti possano trovare una risposta adeguata. La cooperazione tra FLAG dell’Alto Adriatico rappresenta un passo decisivo per affrontare le sfide legate alla piccola pesca e ai mercati ittici, fondamentali per l’economia locale. Al tempo stesso, la gestione della proliferazione delle specie aliene, come il granchio blu, richiede interventi coordinati e soluzioni innovative. Il nostro impegno è quello di coniugare tradizione e innovazione per rafforzare il settore ittico, rendendolo sempre più sostenibile ed economicamente competitivo”.
