Galician and Portuguese maritime sector cooperation

Overview

Galicia and Portugal have moved to strengthen cooperation within their respective fishing and port sectors. During the Conxemar event, officials from Galicia and Docapesca discussed management models, technological integration, and the modernization of primary sales markets. Key objectives include improving price transparency, seafood traceability, food safety, and energy efficiency in cold storage.

In Galicia, the regional Parliament has also taken steps to advocate for increased support for the maritime-fishing industry. Legislative initiatives have been approved to request central government assistance for shellfish gatherers and fishing guilds. These proposals include seeking Social Security fee exemptions for gatherers forced to suspend activities and requesting specific aid for guilds facing personnel shortages and new navigation regulations.
