Until 27 of April, the MedAves Pesca project – Fishermen and seabirds, allies for the sea – is up for votes in the European Natura 2000 Award. The project, in which conservationists from the Portuguese Society for the Study of Birds (SPEA) worked closely with fishermen from Peniche to mitigate one of the biggest threats to seabirds, is one of the 21 finalists in this award run by the European Commission. Alongside the vote for the “Citizens Prize”, the project will also be assessed by a jury, in the Marine Conservation category.
