Low Impact Fishers of Europe

Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

LIFE’s Vision is of a European Union with healthy seas, where small-scale fishers are masters of their future, custodians of the sea, are economically independent, contributing to prosperous coastal communities and the environmental sustainability of the Oceans.

LIFE’s Mission is to unite European small-scale fishers to achieve fair fisheries, healthy seas and vibrant communities.

LIFE aims to unite and energise small-scale artisanal fishers as key agents of environmental and social change, ensure strong and effective representation, and give a voice and support to their associations at local, regional and European level.

We are convinced that, given policy space and appropriate support, small-scale fisheries could be part of the solution and a gamechanger to Europe’s ailing seas and could make a vital contribution to implementing the Green Deal agenda for 2030 and 2050, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs.
