What is better than getting those who know how to work to show how good work is done. Matís and the National Association of Small Boat Owners (LS) are launching a competition among fishermen to show in words and pictures what is needed for first-class catch to land.
Social media will be used to show the work of fishermen and the fishermen themselves will take care of pictures and text.
At the end of each month, May, June, July and August, one fisherman will be selected who is considered to have delivered the best and most positive material. Only the pictures and the text will be evaluated and it will be up to Matís and LS to choose from the submitted and published pictures.
The aim of the project is to increase awareness of the importance of good catch management and how important it is to practice good work practices. It is necessary to show consumers in a positive way that things are going well and that we are working responsibly for the sustainable use of our common resource.
Photos or short videos can be of almost anything related to fishing, fishing and catch management. However, we first and foremost want to see images that capture the positive image of catch management and it is not wrong to wonder what it is that does your fish the best on the market and by what means you can show that in words and pictures.
It is not at all forbidden to be original and fun in the choice of images and give the imagination a little free rein because it will be a lot of work.
