Programme: Maritime and Fisheries Programme

Executive agency for fisheries and aquaculture /EAFA/ exercise control over fish husbandry waters of Republic of Bulgaria. To ensure this activity it is necessary to provide new high passable cars and others which can be used for patrolling in city areas. The purchase of 45 high passable cars and 3 cars for patrolling will renew 50 % of the automobile fleet of EAFA and it will enhance the mobility of the inspectors. It will be possible to execute checks in fish husbandry waters, situated in forest and mountain areas without built infrastructure. It will be possible to transport easy boats, which will allow combined checks in water and on land. It will be possible also to perform intensive unexpected checks in waters for which there is information that unauthorized fishing is executed by constant offenders of Fisheries and aquacultures act. The enhanced mobility of the inspectors will give us the possibility to ensure the surveillance of a large territory and the possibility to implement in practice the patrol in city and hard to accessing areas.  Executive agency for fisheries and aquaculture will minimize the automobile repair costs and the saved money can be used to additional enhancement of the quality of the control activities. The control activities can be executed with minimum amount of people which will provide decrease of the errors made by overfatigue and stress.
