Fishers are the stewards of the sea, they value the health of the ecosystem and ensure that the practice of fishing is handed down from generation to generation. @ETF_Europe  #fisheryspeak #fishers #app

This year's theme on #WorldMaritimeDay is Navigating the future: safety first! The people on our vessels are key to the ongoing work at sea. Our fishers' safety is a top priority of the PFA and its members, and we try to inspire others during international consultations.

Fishery Speak is available to use without internet connection, it is prepared to be used offline. Fishers need a tool that allows them to communicate with each other hundreds of miles away off shore.  @ETF_Europe  #fisheryspeak #app #internetconnection #offline

Fishery Speak is an innovative #app that contributes to safe working conditions on board and safe navigation of the fishing vessel. The app provides key safety phrases for the crew, which can be easily translated between different languages for multinational teams. #fishery

@EMSA_EU @EP_Transport Let's hope that @EMSA will finally be mandated for the mutual recognition of Certificates of Competency and Certificates of Proficiency in the #fishing industry. Currently, that's a huge gap in the work of EMSA. #fisher #fishermen @EU_Social @EuropecheOrg @EU_MARE @EMSA_EU

Today, our Executive Director Ms Maja Markovčić Kostelac participated in an exchange of views at @EP_Transport to give an update on our work and activities, and to answer questions from MEPs
