New equipment for the fishermen of Matrouh

As part of the activities implemented by the NEMO Egypt project, new equipment was purchased to support the small coastal fishermen of the Marsa Matrouh community.

The equipment, which will soon be distributed to fishermen, includes different types of nets that can be used for different types of fishing as well as a series of tools and materials that fishermen use to make the fishing nets.

Coastal fishermen, called “barrars” are artisanal fishermen who do not have boats to use for fishing activities. They only use nets for fishing, casting them in the evening and withdrawing them in the morning.

The NEMO program is activated by CIHEAM Bari and supported by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and the General Directorate for Development Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, for the sustainable development of Mediterranean coastal communities.
