The fishermen of the Côte Bleue, in Marseilles, work with the researchers of the marine park for the preservation of the species. This exemplary collaboration is rewarded with a label.
In Caro, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, Hervé Gout-Vernier and his crew left the port on Monday October 3. They leave to take up the longline, ten kilometers from a reserve in the Côte Bleue marine park. At the end of the hook, they come under tuna and swordfish. They keep in mind the right reflexes to preserve the resource. Hervé Gout-Vernier reminds us that certain species must be released in order to adopt fishing that respects the environment and protected species.
When it was created, the marine protected area first came up against the reluctance of some fishermen. Today, the discourse has changed a lot. For his part, William Tillet, first prud’homme of fishermen in Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône), encourages future fishing bosses to work in concert with the managers of marine protected areas. The Côte Bleue marine park was awarded an international label four years ago.
