This issue of the FARNET Magazine not only highlights the ability of FLAGs to adapt to a wide variety of territories but also to reach those parts of society that others cannot reach while tackling head on some of the important challenges faced by EU fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Indeed, the survey on FLAG support to small-scale coastal fishing confirms the crucial role played by FLAGs in support of this specific segment of the fleet. In addition, FLAGs are also actively working on supporting generational renewal in the sector with many different initiatives springing up in different corners of the EU.
