The Côte Bleue Marine Park was created in 1983 on the basis of an experimental cooperation between local public authorities and professional small scale fishermen to implement a programme for the sustainable development of fishing activity and protection of the marine environment.
The Park is a local initiative and was founded through a “bottom-up” approach, based on a strong process of dialogue with fishermen.
