Life Oasis

“In 2024 the OASIS Project recieved the support of the European Commission through the funding of over 5.000.000 Euros through the EC LIFE programme. This support allows us to initiate an ambitious 5-year road map, focusing on the rescue of thousands of turtles entangled in ghost fishing gear, counting on the collaboraion of fishers and navigators with relevant authorities, research institutions and recovery centers. But more importantly, LIFE OASIS will focus not only on solving the problem, but also on its prevention, Working together with artisanal fishers of Malta, Sicily and Mallorca to develop a sustainable anchored FAD management scheme that will be replicated as a tool for Food security around the world.

ALNITAK wants to thank all the people and institutions that have collaborated with us since 1988. From our families and friends to research institutions and public administrations, without forgetting the more than 3,800 volunteers who have made it possible to keep the Toftevaag working.
