Today, I met with the Zygi Fishers Association to discuss the key challenges facing small-scale fisheries in Cyprus, including increasing competition for marine space, climate change, invasive species and rising fuel costs.
I would also like to thank @ChristosSenekis, Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment of Cyprus, for his engagement and continued dialogue on these important issues.🤝
Small-scale fishers are vital to our coastal communities, local economies and cultural heritage. Their voices and experience must be reflected in decisions shaping the future of our seas.
We remain committed to supporting resilient, sustainable fisheries and ensuring that coastal communities have a strong place in Europe's maritime future.🌊

🇵🇹 Portugal’s aquaculture is largely marine, spanning estuaries, intertidal areas and coastal waters.
🦪 From clams and oysters to fish, the sector is exploring seaweed, offshore farming and ways to diversify production.

Today, I participated in the Circular Water Economy Conference 2026 at @UCYOfficial, highlighting the importance of a source-to-sea approach to water resilience. 💧🌊
Water resilience does not stop on land. What happens upstream affects our rivers, coastal waters and ocean.
We must connect water management with marine protection through circular solutions, water reuse and innovation.
The European Ocean Pact, the upcoming European Ocean Act and the forthcoming Ocean and Water Research and Innovation Strategy will help strengthen this integrated approach, connecting research, policy and investment to deliver practical solutions.
Our goal is clear: secure water resources, healthy marine ecosystems and a sustainable, competitive blue economy.

From meeting rooms to the waterfront in Malta! 🇲🇹
Alongside this year’s #EMFAF Monitoring Committee meeting, we visited small-scale fishers in Marsaxlokk benefiting from 🇪🇺 support to improve safety at sea and preserve their catches. 🎣
⚓️ In Marsascala, we saw an important project upgrading fisheries infrastructure.
A great opportunity to see first-hand how 🇪🇺#EMFAF investments bring concrete benefits to fishers and coastal communities.
Thank you, Malta! 🇲🇹🇪🇺🐟
