CHERISH

CHERISH is an Interreg EUROPE project and runs from June 2018 until May 2023.

Aims

Fishery communities in the EU share the same challenges with regard to climate change, tourism pressure and the transformation of the European fishing industry.
The EU recognizes the valuable role of their cultural heritage for sustainable development and stimulates increased efforts to better position and profile the fishing
communities, including their intangible heritage, like myths to daily practices, traditions, ecological knowledge and crafts.
The 9 European partners in CHERISH aim to protect and promote cultural heritage in fishing communities.
