Programme: All

Fisheries are traditionally a livelihood for a large part of the population of Shabla Municipality. However, the sector faces many limitations - obsolete infrastructure or lack thereof, depreciated equipment, seasonality of activity and more. This leads to a reduction in its profitability, loss of jobs, as a result of which fewer and fewer young people are engaged in fishing. All this has an impact on the local economy. In order to increase the economic activity of the sector, targeted support is needed, from investments in the adjacent infrastructure to investments in tangible assets, to improve the working environment and safety of workers.
The project aims to promote social well-being, poverty reduction and economic development in the territory of the FLAG Shabla-Kavarna-Balchik, through investments in improving the living environment. This will be achieved through the implementation of activities building on previous initiatives implemented during this and the previous programming period, the joint implementation of which will have a greater complementary effect and impact on the fishing community. The current investment proposal envisages the construction of a fishing village - Krapets.The new settlement will build a place for fishing activities in the village of Krapets, where fishing is a traditional livelihood for the population, and for most of it the only means of subsistence. The object will not have the character of a resort-recreational structure and will be realized in two stages. With this project Shabla Municipality is applying for implementation at stage I. It is necessary to realize because Fisheries is one of the main and oldest livelihoods of the local population and the long-term intentions of the Municipality is to build a facility for fishing activities - "Fishermen's Village “, aesthetically inscribed in the terrain, according to all hygienic, technological and other requirements.
