# Fisheries Local Action Groups: Fisheries Local Action Groups (FLAGs) are community-led, government and European Union funded organisations that play a central role in supporting the sustainable development and long-term resilience of Ireland’s coastal and fisheries-dependent communities. They operate under the Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) framework and are designed to empower local stakeholders, including fishermen, aquaculture operators, small businesses, and community groups, to identify and implement projects that address the specific needs and opportunities of their region. FLAGs provide funding, advice, and strategic guidance for initiatives across a wide range of areas such as sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, marine and coastal tourism, environmental protection, local enterprise, skills development, and community infrastructure. By fostering collaboration between public authorities, private enterprises, and local communities, FLAGs aim to create employment opportunities, strengthen local economies, enhance social cohesion, support environmental stewardship, and promote innovation and resilience in coastal areas. Through their work, FLAGs contribute to building a thriving, sustainable blue economy in Ireland, ensuring that the social, economic, and environmental benefits of coastal resources are maximized for the long-term prosperity of coastal communities.
