Anzol+ aims to promote environmentally sustainable, efficient, innovative, competitive and knowledge-based fishing. Working directly with fishermen, we aim to foster the implementation of measures and good practices in the capture and manipulation of marine resources, always in a balance between the preservation of resources and their economic exploitation. We want to create an appropriate management system, which translates into an appreciation of fish.
Anzol+ arose following our work with fishermen operating around Peniche harbour and Berlengas Archipelago.
