:''“I am the second daughter of eight children, my father has his own boat called the ‘Breskens 10’. When I was 4 years old my father took me on board of the ship. We were at night on board sleeping with my father on the boat… putting the nets on the boat, the nets were much lighter. I was alone with my father, no brothers because they were younger than me. I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother. My father taught me the skills”.''<br />
:Nelly is one of the few fisherwomen we encountered on the research, her example breaks the stereotype that women can’t fish and allows us to look into the discriminative aspects of the fishing community toward women.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b7/Catching.png;<br />

A FLAG is a Fishery Local Action Group, so Europe decided that one part of the budget of the European Fisheries Fund, they wouldn’t decide which projects get to run but that local groups would get to decide. So the FLAG groups decide which projects get approved and each group needs a Secretary, so I am the Secretary and this means I prepare the meetings, we open calls. So one way I help people working on these projects is making sure people collaborate because that is important for the group. We act as a group and facilitate cooperation. On the other hand I help the group in preparing their decision, the decision making body. At the same time when projects are approved I follow up by looking for links between projects.”''<br /><br />

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

:“ Aangenaam: Ik ben Schroevers en ik kom uit Arnemuiden. Het eerste wat ik hoor als ik me voorstel aan mensen elders in het land is : Arnemuiden? Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

It started small but then we were asked to help more. We go into schools and teach children how to repair nets and how to peel shrimp”.''<br />
:The picture shows Tonny and her husband. Her active role in the promotion of traditional life in Arnemuiden makes her a great example of women participation in cultural activities.

They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable. People looked down on you then, we are fishermen, we had a bad name ‘fish- heads’. Now the winds are changing.

:''“I am the second daughter of eight children, my father has his own boat called the ‘Breskens 10’. When I was 4 years old my father took me on board of the ship. We were at night on board sleeping with my father on the boat… putting the nets on the boat, the nets were much lighter. I was alone with my father, no brothers because they were younger than me. I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother. My father taught me the skills”.''<br />
:Nelly is one of the few fisherwomen we encountered on the research, her example breaks the stereotype that women can’t fish and allows us to look into the discriminative aspects of the fishing community toward women.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b7/Catching.png;<br />

A FLAG is a Fishery Local Action Group, so Europe decided that one part of the budget of the European Fisheries Fund, they wouldn’t decide which projects get to run but that local groups would get to decide. So the FLAG groups decide which projects get approved and each group needs a Secretary, so I am the Secretary and this means I prepare the meetings, we open calls. So one way I help people working on these projects is making sure people collaborate because that is important for the group. We act as a group and facilitate cooperation. On the other hand I help the group in preparing their decision, the decision making body. At the same time when projects are approved I follow up by looking for links between projects.”''<br /><br />

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

:"Ja ik ben een van de Ketterij. Dat heb je goed gezien. Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

:“ Aangenaam: Ik ben Schroevers en ik kom uit Arnemuiden. Het eerste wat ik hoor als ik me voorstel aan mensen elders in het land is : Arnemuiden? Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

It started small but then we were asked to help more. We go into schools and teach children how to repair nets and how to peel shrimp”.''<br />
:The picture shows Tonny and her husband. Her active role in the promotion of traditional life in Arnemuiden makes her a great example of women participation in cultural activities.

They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable. People looked down on you then, we are fishermen, we had a bad name ‘fish- heads’. Now the winds are changing.

:''“I am the second daughter of eight children, my father has his own boat called the ‘Breskens 10’. When I was 4 years old my father took me on board of the ship. We were at night on board sleeping with my father on the boat… putting the nets on the boat, the nets were much lighter. I was alone with my father, no brothers because they were younger than me. I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother. My father taught me the skills”.''<br />
:Nelly is one of the few fisherwomen we encountered on the research, her example breaks the stereotype that women can’t fish and allows us to look into the discriminative aspects of the fishing community toward women.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b7/Catching.png;<br />

So one way I help people working on these projects is making sure people collaborate because that is important for the group. We act as a group and facilitate cooperation.

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

:"Ja ik ben een van de Ketterij. Dat heb je goed gezien. Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

:“ Aangenaam: Ik ben Schroevers en ik kom uit Arnemuiden. Het eerste wat ik hoor als ik me voorstel aan mensen elders in het land is : Arnemuiden? Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable. People looked down on you then, we are fishermen, we had a bad name ‘fish- heads’. Now the winds are changing.

:''“I am the second daughter of eight children, my father has his own boat called the ‘Breskens 10’. When I was 4 years old my father took me on board of the ship. We were at night on board sleeping with my father on the boat… putting the nets on the boat, the nets were much lighter. I was alone with my father, no brothers because they were younger than me. I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother. My father taught me the skills”.''<br />
:Nelly is one of the few fisherwomen we encountered on the research, her example breaks the stereotype that women can’t fish and allows us to look into the discriminative aspects of the fishing community toward women.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b7/Catching.png;<br />

So one way I help people working on these projects is making sure people collaborate because that is important for the group. We act as a group and facilitate cooperation.

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

:“ Aangenaam: Ik ben Schroevers en ik kom uit Arnemuiden. Het eerste wat ik hoor als ik me voorstel aan mensen elders in het land is : Arnemuiden? Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable.

:''“I am the second daughter of eight children, my father has his own boat called the ‘Breskens 10’. When I was 4 years old my father took me on board of the ship. We were at night on board sleeping with my father on the boat… putting the nets on the boat, the nets were much lighter. I was alone with my father, no brothers because they were younger than me. I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother. My father taught me the skills”.''<br />
:Nelly is one of the few fisherwomen we encountered on the research, her example breaks the stereotype that women can’t fish and allows us to look into the discriminative aspects of the fishing community toward women.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b7/Catching.png;<br />

So one way I help people working on these projects is making sure people collaborate because that is important for the group. We act as a group and facilitate cooperation.

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable.

I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother. My father taught me the skills”.''<br />
:Nelly is one of the few fisherwomen we encountered on the research, her example breaks the stereotype that women can’t fish and allows us to look into the discriminative aspects of the fishing community toward women.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b7/Catching.png;<br />

A FLAG is a Fishery Local Action Group, so Europe decided that one part of the budget of the European Fisheries Fund, they wouldn’t decide which projects get to run but that local groups would get to decide. So the FLAG groups decide which projects get approved and each group needs a Secretary, so I am the Secretary and this means I prepare the meetings, we open calls. So one way I help people working on these projects is making sure people collaborate because that is important for the group. We act as a group and facilitate cooperation. On the other hand I help the group in preparing their decision, the decision making body. At the same time when projects are approved I follow up by looking for links between projects.”''<br /><br />

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable.

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008).

The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Heist (Geographical coordinates: 51°20'N 3°14'E) is situated at the eastern part of the Belgian coast and has a population of about 12.900 people. It is part of the municipality Knokke-Heist, which next to Heist and Knokke also comprises the villages Ramskapelle, Westkapelle and Duinbergen. From the 13th century onwards, Heist became known as a relatively important fishing place, despite the absence of an actual port. Traditionally, the fishing vessels moored on the beach. Similar to those of Blankenberge, the boats of Heist had a flat bottom, which made it easier to land on and depart from the beach <ref name="Lar">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=120722 Larbouillat, J.

Heemkundig Museum Sincfala: Knokke-Heist. 1-80 pp.]</ref>.During a first period of fishery activity, which lasted till the end of the 16th century, the fleet of Heist took part in the important and prosperous Flemish herring fisheries. Circa 1525, Heist had around 10 herring busses (‘haringbuizen’) and 150 fishermen, on a total number of 450 inhabitants <ref name="Sincfala"> [http://www.sincfala.be/sf/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&Itemid=107 ‘Evolutie van strand- en kustvisserij’] Sincfala – Museum van de Zwinstreek, consulted on february 19th, 2014. </ref>. However, due to the religious wars in the second half of the 16th century, this industry vanished in Heist and during the 17th and the first part of the 18th century no active fishermen were reported in this village. With the help of the Austrian government however, the fishing sector in Heist slowly recovered from the second part of the 18th century on <ref name="Devent"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=196194 Devent, G.

In 1901, Heist even got its own fish auction.

The category ‘fresh fish’ refers to fish caught by coastal fishing vessels. A further classification by species is unfortunately not available. Heist played an important part in this type of fishery during the 19th century, but couldn’t hold on to that position after the inauguration of the harbour of Zeebrugge in 1906. The landing figures were written down in the old currency of the Belgian franc.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT)<ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>).

The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

De Panne (Geographical coordinates: 51°06'N 2°36'E) is the westernmost Belgian coastal town, which means it shares a border with France. It has a population of almost 10.800 people. The history of De Panne is closely linked with that of Adinkerke, nowadays a small village, situated about 3 kilometres from the sea, that belongs to the municipality of De Panne. The situation used to be reversed however: during the late 18th century, De Panne was part of the larger parish and municipality of Adinkerke <ref name="Gys">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225642 Gyselinck, N.; Lanszweert, W.; Steevens, I.; Wolny, M. (2013). Kust- en zeevisserij, in: Steevens, I. et al. (Ed.) (2013). Zeevisserij aan de Vlaamse kust. pp. 114-165.]</ref>. Yet, because of the growing importance of coastal tourism from the late 19th century on, De Panne eventually transformed into a larger town than Adinkerke and became independent in 1911 <ref name="geschiedenis">[http://www.depanne.be/product/467/geschiedenis-van-de-panne-en-adinkerke-in-een-notendop Geschiedenis van De Panne en Adinkerke in een notendop], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. Originally though, De Panne was primarily a fishing place. It was only founded in 1783, during the time the Austrian branch of the Habsburg Monarchy ruled the Southern Netherlands. Emperor Joseph II wanted to stimulate the inshore fisheries and therefore agreed with the proposition of six dignitaries from Veurne to erect a small fishing settlement in the dunes between Adinkerke and Koksijde. Two years after its foundation, the village of De Panne (originally named ‘Josephdorp’ - after Joseph II - and ‘Kerckepanne’) already counted 26 houses <ref name="Gys"/><ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=221639 Bauwens, J.

The fisheries - and especially the small herring fisheries close to the coast - in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on, and the fishing community steadily grew <ref name="Gys"/>. Around the turn of the century, a number of shipyards were active in De Panne, while several small fish smoke houses were also present in the village <ref name="Desnerck">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=9601 Desnerck, G.; Desnerck, R.

An important figure in this thriving evolution was [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&show=search Pierre Bortier] (1805-1879), a wealthy landowner and philanthropist, who strongly believed that agriculture and fisheries were the crucial basis for a prosperous society. Bortier was closely involved in the fishery life of De Panne and encouraged the fishermen to take ownership of their very own fishing vessels, which was one of the reasons for the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne during the second half of the 19th century <ref name="Desnerck"/><ref name="geschiedenis"/>.

The lack of its harbour however, eventually led to the decline of the fishery industry in De Panne. Although over the years, several plans were made for the construction of a harbour for the fishing fleet of De Panne, none of these projects actually succeeded. After the First World War, more and more fishers left De Panne for Nieuwpoort and Ostend and soon after the Second World War, all professional fishery activity in De Panne ceased to exist <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

As shown on graph 1, the fleet of Adinkerke and De Panne gradually grew over the course of the 19th century and eventually increased substantially around the turn of the century. Because of the modernization and increase in scale of the fisheries sectors after World War I however, the fisheries sector soon relocated to coastal towns with harbours. Since De Panne never got its own harbour, it became less important as a fishing village, and the size of the fleet subsequently rapidly decreased <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

Due to the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne and Adinkerke during the second half of the 19th century, lots of people were employed in this industry. Graph 2 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1936 until 1907. The number especially peaked around the turn of the century, parallel to the development of the fishing fleet of De Panne and Adinkerke. In 1900, no less than 420 fishermen were active in De Panne and Adinkerke <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

As noted above, the fisheries in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on. The fleet of De Panne applied itself especially to what was called the small herring fisheries: the catch of fresh herring close to the coast <ref name="Gys"/>. In [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landings of this fresh herring were recorded from 1842 till 1906. For the years 1842-1850, this was written down in kilograms (see Graph 3), from 1851 on however the landings were reported in the old currency of the Belgian franc (see Graph 4). Graph 4 clearly shows that De Panne was the most important contributor of this small herring fisheries. This type of fishery quickly descended shortly after the turn of the century, when its industrial importance grew smaller <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

In De Panne, the '''local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’''' was founded in 1993. Its primary objective is the preservation, maintenance and promotion of the maritime heritage that laid the foundation for the development of this coastal town. The most important activity of this club is the maintenance of the fishing vessel ‘De Pannevisser P1’, but its members also collect all kinds of data about the history of fisheries in De Panne and the West Coast <ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 Heemkundige vereniging ‘De Panneboot P1’], Site De Bliedemaker.</ref>.

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

*The '''statue''' of local fisherman Pier Kloeffe can be found in the dunes of De Panne. Pier Kloeffe (1853-1939) was born in 1853 as Petrus Decreton. However, his whole family was given the nickname Kloeffe, because their ancestors ran an inn called ‘De Kloeffe’ on the road to Veurne. Pier Kloeffe made nine fishing trips to Iceland, but decided after the First World War to stay closer to home. From then on, Pier appeared every day without fail on the beach of De Panne, ready to practise 'gill net fishing’. He was always dressed in the typical fishing attire of the region, which consisted of a blue sailor’s hat with a black brim, a red linen shirt (''‘kazuifel’'' in Dutch) and thick dark blue trousers. His white beard was typical of the old Iceland fishermen <ref>[http://tourism.depanne.be/product/1203/pier-kloeffe Pier Kloeffe], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>.

However, in 1903, the reverend father Vanneste resurrected the idea and founded a fisheries school, modelled after similar institutes in other Belgian coastal towns. The fisheries school in De Panne was one of the most attended, with around 80 or 90 students <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225640 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I.

----<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers (2010) focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>. A historical overview of Belgian sea fisheries is available from <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=197334 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Debergh, H.; Vincx, M.; Mees, J. (2010).

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Blankenberge (Geographical coordinates: 51°18′N 03°07′E) is a coastal town in Belgium and has a population of 19 500 people.<br />
Blankenberge has a long history of inshore fishing. The Blankenberge fleet were typical inshore fishing boats; small fishing boats with a wide bottom that were easy to slide from the beach. Fisheries in Blankenberge flourished in the late 17th century. At that time Blankenberge had the most important fleet from the Flemish coast. A first ship wharf was built in 1780. And in the 19th century the fishing port of Blankenberge expanded with first the construction of a harbour and the port channel. Formerly the fish was sold on the streets. In 1868 a room was arranged for fish sale, this room was called the “hangar” by the fishermen of Blankenberge. Despite the presence of an accommodation, fishers kept selling their fish on the streets and in 1875 the “hangar” was pulled down. In 1888 the sale of fish on the streets disappeared with the deployment of the fish auction. The last fish auction was held on 3rd of September 1958. In 1959 the fish auction was pulled down and a new one was built however this new fish auction has never been used, except for shrimp fisheries, due to the fisheries shutdown in Blankenberge. From that time onwards, fishermen of Blankenberge started selling their fish in the fish auctions of Oostende and Zeebrugge. In 1955 the fishing port of Blankenberge was reorganized into a marina which indicated the start for Blankenberge to grow into a touristic seaside town <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=106929 De Soete, D.

The Belgian definition of inshore fisheries ('kustvisserij') refers to vessels with an engine power of 221 kW or less (this includes any additional installed power) and a tonnage of no more than 70 GT, that make trips with a maximum period determined by the Minister (today being 48 hours) with start and end in a Belgian port. Moreover, vessels with engine power >221 kW are not allowed to fish within the 12nm which is reserved for the inshore fisheries or Small Fleet Segment ([http://codexws.vandenbroele.be/Export/1014219.html Ministerial Decree of December 16, 2005]). <br />

As already mentioned, there are almost no fishing activities left in Blankenberge. The number of fishermen is for this reason low. Graph 1 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1944 until 2012 with a peak of around 85 fishermen in 1944 and 1945. The number decreased after that and counts at the moment less than 40 fishermen.<br />

Landings and values are available from the [http://www.vliz.be/cijfers_beleid/zeevisserij/ HiFi database] from 1929 until 1999. The data from 2000-2012 that is added to the data from the HiFi database comes from the publication of [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=227105 Tessens and Velghe (2013)]<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=227105 Tessens, E.; Velghe, M.

<br />
Graph 2 shows the total landings in Belgian harbours (blue graph) in tonnes and the landings in Blankenberge (red line). As explained earlier, landings in the auction of Blankenberge stopped in 1958. This means that only landings data from 1929 until 1958 are available. As is shown on the graph, the contribution of landings in the harbor of Blankenberge to the total landings of Belgian ports is small. There was a peak of 1571100 kg landings in Blankenberge in 1945. From that time onwards landings started to decrease in Blankenberge and stopped in 1958 with the closing of the fish auction. The same is true for the value of landings in Blankenberge (graph 3). The highest values were obtained in the year with the highest amount of landings: 1945 had a value of 40000 thousand €. <br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques<ref>[http://www.dekustkijktverder.be/index.php?id=98 De Kust kijkt verder: Purus Garnaal]</ref>. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

Blankenberge has several '''restaurants''' serving North sea fish from which restaurant the [http://www.oesterput.com Oesterput] is an unique seafood restaurant. It is located in an old fish wholesale barn in the industrial area of Blankenberge, a few meters from the port and dunes. Everything in and around the restaurant refers to the sea. The restaurant has the oldest and biggest lobster basins in Belgium. Because of the direct connection of the restaurant to the sea, the lobsters stay in an optimal cooled environment. The restaurant opened in 1986 and became a great success. The oysters are directly imported from France and lobsters are imported from Halifax in Canada and cultivated in the restaurant. Fresh fish arrives daily from Zeebrugge.<br />

Although fishery activity disappeared in Blankenberge, the history of fisheries is still part of the city. Each year during the Ascension weekend, the “[http://www.havenfeesten.be/ havenfeesten]”, “(harbor festivals)” are held. The feast originate from the harbor area and is grown into a touristic folkloric event. During the festivities, people wear traditional fisheries costumes dating from the 19th century. <br />
<br />
The festival starts with floral tributes in memory of the fishermen lost at sea at the statue of a first mate which is called “Sterken Dries” by local people. The statue was built in 1960 by Guillaume Charlier as a tribute to the fishermen of Blankenberge and is located at the entrance of the harbour. <br />
<br />
Another traditional event is the Sea benediction, [http://blankenberge.info/nl/evenement/417/zeewijding-zeezegening.html “Zeewijding”], in the beginning of July. The sea benediction used to introduce the bathing season, none of the residents would go into the sea before the sea benediction took place. The tradition still exists today. The open air mass held during the sea benediction includes a memorial of fishermen lost at sea, together with a request for protection for everyone who goes to the sea. <br />
Blankenberge has two '''museums''' related to fisheries. <br />
* The Maritime Museum "De Scute" is the museum from the non-profit organization [http://www.descute.be/ “De Scute”]. The organization was established in 1992 and aims to revalue the fishing heritage of Blankenberge. Since 2008 the organization has a small museum located above a hangar in which the organization is restoring a ship, the B1 Sint-Pieter. The collection includes photographs, paintings, objects of fisheries in Blankenberge and also information about the rebuilding of a fishing fleet of Blankenberge. <br />
* The Zeemuseum Vuurtoren Zeegenootschap is a nautical didactical information center located within the lighthouse at the port of Blankenberge. The collection in the hall includes all kind of relicts from the maritime history of Blankenberge. In the staircase pictures from old fishermen of Blankenberge are shown.<br />

The city also invest into '''touristic activities related to fisheries'''. As there is the shrimp fishing boat, the [http://www.descute.be/projecten/Jacqueline-Denise-nl.htm B72 Jaqueline-Denise], a wooden ketch that was built in Oostende in 1939. It is one of the typical shrimp fishing boats that were operational between the two world wars. In 1991 the ship came to Blankenberge and in 2005 restoration works started to make the ship operational for trips at sea. At the moment groups can make trips at sea with the B72 Jaqueline-Denise while learning about the history and restoration of the ship. Often the trips are combined with a visit to the Maritime Museum De Scute.<br />
<br />
In 1994 the “Blankenbergse Havenwandeling”, harbor walk in Blankenberge was introduced for the first time. A walk of 4.5 kilometers gives a historic exploration of the harbor area. <br />

On the 1st of October 1890 the “Vrije Visserijschool” (''Free '''Fisheries School''' '') opened its doors in the classrooms of the Sint-Pietersschool and Genootschap der Xaverianen in the Wetstraat in Blankenberge. Courses were organized during the day, evening and weekends for children but also for adults <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225640 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I. (2013). Kinderen in de visserij en het onderwijsaanbod, in: Steevens, I. et al. (Ed.) (2013). Zeevisserij aan de Vlaamse kust. pp. 68-91]</ref>. E.H. Carlier, the first director of the free fisheries school ran the school together with three teachers that gave theoretical courses, three teachers for practical courses and one doctor for first aid classes.<br />
<br />
Multiple factors caused the closure of the free fisheries school at the end of the school year in 1950-1951. Among other things, the end of fisheries in Blankenberge and consequently a lack of students interest in a future in fisheries caused the close of the school. Also the fact that fisheries evolved with new techniques in terms of materials and equipment did not help the situation either. The school was not equipped for these new materials and equipment which caused, together with other reasons, the end of the fisheries school in Blankenberge<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/catalogue?module=ref&refid=197957 Boterberge, R.

----<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

<br />
Zeebrugge (51°20’N 3°12’E) is a village of the Belgian coast and a subdivision of Bruges and has a population of 4000 people. Zeebrugge is Belgium’s most import fishing port and one of Europe’s largest wholesale fish market.<br />
<br />
The port of Zeebrugge is managed by an autonomous company regulated by public law; the Port authority/MBZ nv established in 1895. In the 1970’s the port of Zeebrugge developed from a coastal port into a deep sea port due to the increasing scale of the ships. A new sea lock with entrance to an inner port gave Zeebrugge new opportunities. Since 1985 the total cargo traffic tripled from 14 million tonnes to 43.5 million tonnes in 2012<ref name="Port of Zeebrugge"> [http://www.zeebruggeport.be/en/ Port of Zeebrugge]</ref>. <br />
<br />
The first fishing port of Zeebrugge was built in 1906. At that time the fishing port could harbor 40 small inshore fishing vessels. Fish was sold directly to local fish mongers. In 1909 a wooden barrack was built for fishermen to sell their fish. In 1924 the first fish auction of Zeebrugge was built on the same place as the barrack. The city council of Bruges set the first official fish sales in the fish auction in 1926. By then the fishing fleet of Zeebrugge was growing resulting in expansion of the fishing port.<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/catalogue?module=ref&refid=101144 Anon. (1978). Zeebrugge: vismijn, vissershaven. Gemeentebestuur Brugge: Brugge. 23, tables pp.]</ref> (Anon., 1978) At the moment Zeebrugge is one of the main fishing ports in Europe. Since 2009 the fish auction of Oostende and Zeebrugge joined to form the “Flemish Fish Auction”. The "European Fish Centre" is the complex for the supply, trade and handling of fish. The Fish Auction located in Zeebrugge offers the wholesalers the possibility to join the electronic auction. The main species landed in Zeebrugge are sole, plaice, cod, lemon sole, skate, haddock, squid, scallops, shrimps, monkfish, brill, turbot and langoustines <ref name= "ZV">[http://www.zv.be Vlaamse Visveiling N.V.]</ref>. Also frozen fish is stored in the Auction of Zeebrugge, for that the Zeebrugge Food Logistics was established, a company who provides warehousing at -22°C<ref>[http://wwww.zfl.be Zeebrugge Food Logistics]</ref>.<br />

In 2013 a total of 43 fishing vessels were registered in Zeebrugge <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=233432 Anon. (2014). Officiële lijst van de Belgische vissersvaartuigen = Liste officielle des navires de pêche belges. Toestand op 31 December 2013.

The Belgian definition of inshore fisheries ('kustvisserij') refers to vessels with an engine power of 221 kW or less (this includes any additional installed power) and a tonnage of no more than 70 GT, that make trips with a maximum period determined by the Minister (today being 48 hours) with start and end in a Belgian port. Moreover, vessels with engine power >221 kW are not allowed to fish within the 12nm which is reserved for the inshore fisheries or Small Fleet Segment ([http://codexws.vandenbroele.be/Export/1014219.html Ministerial Decree of December 16, 2005]).<br />

Landings and values are available from the [http://www.vliz.be/cijfers_beleid/zeevisserij/ HiFi database] from 1929 until 1999. The data from 2000-2012 that is added to the data from the HiFi database comes from the publication of [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=227105 Tessens and Velghe (2013)]<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=227105 Tessens, E.; Velghe, M.

<br />
Graph 2 shows the total landings in Belgian harbours (bleu graph) in tonnes and the landings in Zeebrugge (yellow line).<br />
<br />
Since 2001 landings started to decline in the fish auction of Zeebrugge. However this decline stopped in 2009. Since then landings started to increase again. This matches to the start of the Flemish Fish Auction (fusion of the fish auction in Oostende and Zeebrugge) which, as can be seen in landing numbers, benefits to the auction in Zeebrugge. <br />
At present the auction of Zeebrugge lands around 10000 tonnes a year. The highest value of landings were obtained in 2002 (see Graph 3).<br />

----<br />
In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

[[Image:Purus.jpg|100px|thumb|left|link=]]<br />
The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques<ref>[http://www.dekustkijktverder.be/index.php?id=98 De Kust kijkt verder: Purus Garnaal]</ref>. <br />

[[Image:North_Sea_Life.jpg|100px|thumb|left|link=]]<br />
Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

<br />
The presence of the fish auction in Zeebrugge attracts '''fish processing industries'''. Some examples of fish processing industries are given below.<br />
<br />
Fish processing company [http://www.visbewerking-neirinck.be/ Neirinck] has been located near the Flemish Fish Auction in Zeebrugge since 2012. The company is specialized in processing and filleting of fish for small fish shops but also wholesalers. The company possesses a “filleting” machine for filleting salmon. <br />
<br />
[http://www.peterfish.be/ Peter-Fish] is a well-known wholesaler of fish located in Zeebrugge. Characteristic off the company are that it only buys and sells fish that is caught in a sustainable manner with sustainable fishing techniques. Sustainability can be seen as one of the main priorities of the company. The company buys their fish in the fish auction of Zeebrugge and process (filleting and cut fish, cooking of shellfish and packing)them. <br />
<br />
The company nv [http://www.zeevisandre.be/ Zeevisgroothandel Andre] was established in 1979 as a wholesaler of fresh and frozen seafood. The company imports and exports fish, is specialized in processing of fish and other fish products, warehousing, storage and transport of cargo. The company takes part of the PEFA (Pan European Fish Auctions)–system, internet connected fish auctions spread all over Europe.<br />
<br />
Zeebrugge has several '''restaurants''' serving North sea fish. A selection of restaurants is given below.<br />
<br />
* [http://www.fishbone.be/ Restaurant Fishbone] is located at the harbour of Zeebrugge and offers a panoramic view over the marina which offers daily fresh fish. The restaurant offers seats up to 400 persons.<br />
<br />

===<span style="color:#3a75c4; Font-size: 130%">'''<small>Tourism</small>'''</span>===<br />
----<br />
<br />
Annually a '''benediction and fishing festival''' is held in Zeebrugge. The festival starts with a short procession guided by music, a folkloristic fishing group and choreography group. Also a decorated lifeboat is present during the procession. A mass is held on the quay of the fish auction followed by the benediction of the moored fishing boats and pleasure boats. Afterwards several activities are held in and around the fish market<ref>[http://zeebrugge.net/nl/evenement/412/zeewijding-en-visserijfeesten.html Zeebrugge.net]</ref>.<br />
<br />
Zeebrugge has a '''monument''' for fishermen lost at sea, the “Visserskruis” (Fisherscross). The monument was inaugurated by a bishop from Bruges in 1936. The statue of 16 meters length contains a plate with the names of fishermen lost at sea since 1904 inscribed. <br />
<br />
The port of Zeebrugge offers the possibility to visit the port by bus or by boat. The '''guided tour''' starts at the “Sea station” with a short introduction movie about the port of Zeebrugge followed by a tour in the port that takes about 75 minutes when the tour is done by bus. <br />
<br />
In case the port of Zeebrugge is explored by boat, the guided tour starts at the old fishing port from which a passenger ship will explore the port of Zeebrugge but will also go outside the harbor <ref name="Port of Zeebrugge"/>. <br />
<br />
[http://www.seafront.be/ Seafront], a '''maritime theme park''' about the sea and shipping, fish and fisheries, is located in in the building of the old fish market of Zeebrugge. The fish market moved to a new complex in the back harbor. <br />
<br />
Recently a new interactive fishery expo was added to the attractions of the park. The expo "Fish, from the boat right onto your plate" shows the wondrous world of fish and fisheries. Seafront also has outdoor visiting possibilities, a Russian submarine of 100 meters long in which 75 crewmembers lived and worked and the lightship West-Hinder.<br />

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>. A historical overview of Belgian sea fisheries is available from <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=197334 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Debergh, H.; Vincx, M.; Mees, J. (2010).

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref name="Europees Visserijfonds"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

<br />
Oostende (Geographical coordinates: 51°2’ N, 2°9’ E) is the largest town of the Belgian coast and has a population of 70 000 people. The [http://www.portofoostende.be port of Oostende] can accommodate all types of coastal maritime traffic. The construction of the harbor in 1445 was of great importance for further growth of the city of Oostende (Allaert G., 2013). Click [http://www.vlaamsehavencommissie.be/sites/default/files/HavenOostende-plan.jpg here] for a plan of the harbor of Oostende. <br />
<br />
The port is partly owned by the state and partly by the City of Oostende. AG Port Oostende is an autonomous city company established in 1996 by the city council of Oostende. It became operational on 1 March 1997. Before, the port of Oostende was property of the city of Oostende, the RMT (Regie voor Maritiem Transport, the Belgian state-owned ferry service) and the Flemish Region<ref>[http://www.vlaamsehavencommissie.be/vhc/page/juridisch-statuut-van-de-haven-van-oostende Vlaamse Havencommisie]</ref>. <br />
<br />
The port consists of a tidal basin and a dock port which is closed by locks. The Fishing Port is located at the East side of the ship channel and consists mainly of an access channel, a lock, a fishing dock with shipyards, a tidal dock with a ship cleaning bank (“kuisbank”) for small vessels, two slipways and the fish auction, formerly also the presence of a railway and shipping station<ref>[http://www.oostendseoosteroever.be/inventaris-van-het-bouwkundig-erfgoed.html Oostende Oosteroever]</ref>. The quay wall-length within the fishing port of Oostende is 1,425 meters long. The port can take up to four vessels in the dock at the same time and can handle ships up to 1,750 tonnes<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=225599 Delaney, A.; De Smet, S.; Verhaeghe, D. (2010). Assessment of the status, development and diversification of fisheries-dependent communities: Oostende Case Study Report. European Commission: [s.l.]. 56 pp.]</ref>.<br />
<br />
The first fish auction of Oostende was established in 1879. The present fish auction dates from 1951. Since 2009 the fish auction of Oostende and Zeebrugge joined to form the “[http://www.zv.be Flemish Fish Auction]”. The European food center is the logistics platform of the Flemish Fish Auction and consists out of two clusters of fishing companies with the two auctions (Oostende and Zeebrugge) as its engine. The two clusters contain about 130 companies and employs about 800 people in the fishing business. The supply of fish are sold in real-time over the internet and on a network which connects 3 fish auction clocks namely in Zeebrugge, Oostende and Nieuwpoort.<br />
<br />
In Oostende, all fish landings need to be auctioned in the fish auction of Ostend. Special permit can be given to inshore fishing vessels (with an engine power of 221kW or less and a tonnage of no more than 70 GT, that make trips with a maximum period of 24 hours) to directly sell their fish at the fish market on the Montgomery quay in Oostende. Only vessels that have this permit may land their fish at the Montgomery quay. Fishermen can sell part of their fish (as a whole) directly at a fish market, the “Vistrap”. The fish market in Oostende is unique in Belgium. The infrastructure allow ship-owners and fishermen to sell their catches directly. The fish is not auctioned and therefore gives better prices to the ship-owners <ref name="Europees Visserijfonds"/>.<br />
<br />
Inshore fishing vessels (with an engine power of 221 kW or less and a tonnage of no more than 70 GT, that make trips of maximum 24 hours) can receive a permit to sell their fish at the fish market on the Montgomerydok. Only vessels that possess a permit are allowed to land fish at the Montogmerydok. Fishermen can sell their caught fish at the fish market only if they completed in a "voorafname" document from the board. The city, national, regional and EEG regulations remain applicable<ref>[http://www.kustcodex.be/kustcodex-consult/plainWettekstServlet?wettekstId=44747&lang=nl 26/10/2006 Politieverordening Oostende vismijn: Politieverordening van 26 oktober 2006 van Oostende over de vismijn]</ref>. <br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

[http://www.horizon-educatief.be/ Horizon Educatief], “Horizon education” is a non-profit organization that mainly focus on education, but the organization is also open for other groups. Horizon Education is made possible by support from the city of Ostend, Blankenberge, the municipalities of Koksijde, Bredene, De Haan and Middelkerke, the province of West Flanders, the Flemish Community and the European Community. Horizon education staff teaches children about the sea using different educative workshops amongst them is a workshop about fisheries. During this workshop children learn about fisheries and fishermen. Horizon Education works closely with old fishermen and volunteers. Each volunteer and fishermen has to follow a course before they are allowed to give workshops.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques<ref>[http://www.dekustkijktverder.be/index.php?id=98 De Kust kijkt verder: Purus Garnaal]</ref>. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

The presence of a fish auction in Oostende attracts '''fish processing industries'''. Some examples of fish processing industries are given below. <br />
*[http://www.simons-decru.be/ Simons & Decru] is one of the oldest fish processing companies from Belgium, the company was established in 1894. After WOII, the company is located near the fish auction of Oostende. Fish come in from the auction and is cleaned and filleted by professional filters. After fish processing, the fish is packed and transported to clients.<br />

Oostende houses a National Seamen’s Memorial created by Willy Kreitz in 1953. The '''statue''' of a tough sailor that stands with crossed arms is located at the “Zeeheldenplein” but was originally standing in the location of Ostend’s first lighthouse. <br />
<br />
Oostende has two '''museums''' related to fisheries.<br />
<br />
* The Amandine is a [http://www.visitoostende.be/nl/doen/museumschip-amandine/285#.UzFeMvldVSI museum] ship of Oostende. The O.129 Amandine is a large middle-size trawler that used to operate in the fishing grounds around Southern Iceland and during winter in the North Sea and the Channel. On the 3rd March 1995 the Amandine sailed for the last time into Oostende. This meant the end of the Iceland fisheries in Oostende. The Amandine was restored and since 2000 the ship is located at the Fisherman’s Quay (Visserskaai) and houses a museum. <br />
<br />
* Walraversijde is a [http://www.visitoostende.be/nl/doen/domein-raversyde-anno-1465/265#.UzFeT_ldVSI medieval fishing village] located in Oostende. Excavation of historical remains of Walraversijde started in 1990. At the moment Walraversijde is an open air museum containing a platform from which visitors can monitor the archeological excavations. Four houses are reconstructed that illustrate the fishing community that was situated here. The visitors center of the museum houses a collection of objects, graphic illustrations, multimedia on the history of the medieval fishing village. <br />
<br />
The city of Oostende organizes several '''touristic activities related to fisheries'''. For example tourists can sail with the [http://www.crangon.be Crangon], a shrimp fishing vessel equipped in traditional manner. During the three hours trip off the Belgian coast people experience how Flemish fishermen catch brown shrimps, how they are sorted, washed, boiled and cooled down and off course how the shrimps taste. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Ostendaise.jpg|100px|thumb|left]]<br />
[http://www.ostendaise.be/ A l’ostendaise] puts the lesser-known species, landed by local fishermen in the spotlight. Monthly a "fish of the month” is chosen. The Ostend chefs are challenged to prepare this fish into a delicious fish menu.<br />
Every first Friday of the month, “'''aan tafel met de visser'''”, “dining with fishermen” event is held in Oostende. During this evening people learn about fisheries in Oostende. The evening starts with a guided tour in the maritime quarter. Afterwards people can join tables with fishermen. Each month two restaurants are selected that offer a special ‘a l’ostendaise’ menu prepared with fish of the month. Fishermen will be present to tell about the fish on the menu, their lives at sea etc. <br />
<br />
The a l’ostendaise walk introduces the maritime heritage of Ostend by means of an app. The [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.tentoone.alostendaise app] can be downloaded on a tablet, smartphone and learns about the sailors monument, the North Sea Aquarium, the Amandine, the fish market, light house and much more.<br />
<br />
A l’ostendaise also provides an a l’ostendaise day trip for groups. The programme of the day trip consists of a maritime guided walk, a l’ostendaise lunch menu and a visit at the Amandine of the City museum of Oostende. <br />
<br />
Oostende has a [http://users.skynet.be/noordzee.aquarium/ Noordzeeaquarium], “North Sea Aquarium” that is located in an old shrimp market. The collection of the North Sea Aquarium is kept alive by fishermen who bring live aquarium material with them from their fishing trips at the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea. Besides live fish, crustaceans, molluscs and anemones, the North Sea Aquarium also contains a collection of fossils, shells and dried and stuffed sea creatures. <br />

The [http://www.maritiemonderwijs.be/ maritime Instituut Mercator], “Maritime Institute Mercator”, is the only '''fisheries school''' left in Belgium. The school is located in Oostende and offers courses in maritime techniques, which is a more specialized training than the “maritime forming” course. Students learn on board of ships but also by means of simulators. Students that graduate from the Maritime Institute Mercator find jobs not only in the fisheries sector but also as shipbuilders, in dredging companies, the navy, on merchant ships or pleasure boats, drilling platform etc. <br />

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Oostduinkerke (Geographical coordinates: 51°07'N 2°40'E) is a village situated at the Belgian west coast. It has a population of about 8.500 people and belongs to the municipality of Koksijde. The town was founded during the 12th century and was originally an agricultural village <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=199556 Bijnens, B. (1974).

However, from the 18th century onwards and especially during the 19th century, Oostduinkerke transformed into a real fishermen’s town <ref name="Geschiedenis">''Geschiedenis'', [http://inwoner.koksijde.be/geschiedenis Site Gemeente Koksijde], consulted on February 26th, 2014. </ref>. Most fishermen’s families settled in the dunes, where they combined their fishing activities with cultivating dune fields <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225638 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I.

Many of the town’s fishermen were active on Dunkirk ships that went cod fishing in Icelandic waters, but beach and coastal fisheries were also important. Oostduinkerke used to have a substantial fleet of smaller vessels for inshore fishing. In 1895 for example, 24 ships were counted <ref name="Gyselinck">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225642 Gyselinck, N.; Lanszweert, W.; Steevens, I.; Wolny, M. (2013).

<br />
For a long time, Oostduinkerke even had its own port: the fishing vessels were moored to a pier in the harbour channel that originally belonged to the territory of Oostduinkerke. However, due to some border adjustments, from the 21st of June 1949 onwards, this channel became part of Nieuwpoort. During the 20th century, the Oostduinkerke inshore fisheries steadily declined and fishermen left the village to work in Nieuwpoort and Ostend <ref name="Gyselinck"/>. Today, Oostduinkerke is still famous for its shrimp fishermen on horseback and on foot, who operate on the beach. This centuries-old tradition of beach fishing is a crucial part of the history of Oostduinkerke as a fishermen’s village. Although this type of fishing is no longer practiced by professional fishermen, it is still a very important part of the local folklore. Koksijde-Oostduinkerke is the only place in the world where you can still see shrimp fishermen on horseback and in December 2013, UNESCO recognized this unique tradition as intangible cultural heritage <ref>''Fishery Tradition'', Site Gemeente Koksijde, consulted on February 26th, 2014</ref>.<br />

Oostduinkerke/Koksijde had a small number of inshore fishing vessels during the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The highest number of fishing vessels in Oostduinkerke/Koksijde was recorded in 1896 with 61 fishing vessels. Since then the fleet started to decline. In 1939 the number of ships decreased to 7 inshore fishing vessels.

Data about the landing of fish in Oostduinkerke and Koksijde are only available from 1896 onwards in [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909] and are written down in the old currency of the Belgian franc. Around the turn of the century, Koksijde and Oostduinkerke where involved in what was called the small herring fisheries: the catch of fresh herring close to the coast. This type of fishery was mainly practiced by fishers from [[Fisheries in De Panne|De Panne]], but could also be found in Koksijde/Oostduinkerke and Nieuwpoort. This type of small herring fishery quickly descended shortly after the turn of the century, when its industrial importance grew smaller <ref name="De Zuttere"/>.<br />

<br />
Also in [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landing of ‘fresh fish’ was recorded during the period 1896-1907. The category ‘fresh fish’ refers to fish caught by coastal fishing vessels. A further classification by species is unfortunately not available.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

The '''‘[http://ordevandepaardevisser.eu/index.html Orde van de Paardevisser]’''' (''‘Order of the Horse Fisherman’'') was founded in Oostduinkerke in 1967. The goals of this organization include the preservation of the shrimp fisheries on horseback, encouraging tourism in Oostduinkerke and Koksijde and promoting gastronomy in general and the local shrimp in particular. A number of activities are organized every year to achieve these objectives.<br />
<br />
The non-profit organisation '''‘[http://en.navigomuseum.be/friends%20and%20partners Vrienden van het Nationaal Visserijmuseum van Oostduinkerke]’''' (''‘Friends of the National Fisheries Museum of Oostduinkerke’'') dedicates itself to acquiring new pieces <br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

[[Image:North_Sea_Life.jpg|100px|thumb|left|link=]]<br />
Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

Several '''restaurants''' are located in Oostduinkerke and Koksijde. Only a few of them are listed below.<br />
<br />
:Next to the National Fisheries Museum NAVIGO in Oostduinkerke, the '''museum tavern ‘De Peerdevisscher’ ''' is located. The tavern was rebuild based on the model of a fishermen’s inn from the 1920’s <ref>[http://www.watererfgoed.be/EG_Peerdevisscher.aspx 'Estaminet De Peerdevisscher'], Watererfgoed Vlaanderen, een zee van tradities.</ref>. Johan and Corinne Casier, who come from a thoroughbred horseback fishing family, have run this pleasant popular little café since 2004. There is a limited menu, and at lunchtime you can eat fresh shrimp or wonderful North Sea sole with chips (only after a reservation) <ref>[http://en.navigomuseum.be/product/3300/friends-and-partners Friends and Partners], Site NAVIGO - Nationaal Visserijmuseum Oostduinkerke.</ref>.<br />
<br />
:Located 300 meters from the sea in Oostduinkerke, you can find the '''restaurant [http://www.zeilendfornuis.be/ ‘t Zeilend Fornuis''']. The owners of this restaurant catch their own fresh shrimp twice a week, with the aid of an inflatable boat, a special net and a tractor. The fresh catch is immediately cooked and served in the restaurant, for example as part of the menu ‘Het Goud van Oosduinkerke’ (‘The Gold of Oostduinkerke’), which includes shrimp soup, shrimp croquettes, shrimp salad and stuffed potato with shrimp.<br />

*Oostduinkerke is famously known as the only place in the world where you can still see '''shrimp fishermen on horseback'''. The shrimp fishing takes place at low tide, both in summer and winter, for about two hours, i.e. one hour before and one hour after low water. The fishermen are clad in traditional southwester, bright yellow oilskins and rubber waders. The horses that are used are usually robust stallions of the Brabant or Hainaut breed, for this type of fishery requires exceptional strength and powers of resistance. Breast deep in water, the horses advance at a steady pace, dragging the nets up. From time to time, the fishermen and his horse leave the water to empty the net and to put the contents into two wicker baskets fixed on each side of the horse. As soon as the fisherman returns home, the shrimps are cooked and offered for sale by the fisherman and his wife <ref>[http://visitor.koksijde.be/product/2225/shrimpfishermen-on-horseback Shrimp fishermen on horseback], Site Gemeente Koksijde.</ref>. During the tourist season, visitors are treated to demonstrations from the fishing itself to shrimp cooking (a [http://visitor.koksijde.be/product/2225/shrimpfishermen-on-horseback calendar] is available), but during the school period in spring and autumn, groups and classes can also make [http://www.paardenvissers.be/ appointments] to observe this unique collaboration of man, horse and sea up close <ref>[http://www.paardenvissers.be/ Site Paardenvissers Oostduinkerke]</ref>.<br />
<br />
*On a regular basis, the beach of Oostduinkerke is also populated with ''‘kruiers’'' or ''‘kruwers’'', which are '''shrimp fishermen on foot'''. In fact they play "horse" themselves because they pull their net through the sea water themselves. As mentioned before, Oostduinkerke still has two associations of these type of fishermen, which adds up to about fifty men and women who practice this unique form of fishing <ref name="foot"/>. The members of the club [http://inwoner.koksijde.be/gidsendetail.aspx?id=224 De Slepers] give group demonstrations of their shrimp fishing techniques and subsequently share their fresh shrimp on the seawall of Oostduinkerke. The club aims to promote the activity, which is part of the cultural patrimony of the town, with both tourists as second residents. <br />

*The NAVIGO-museum is closely involved with the '''rich folkloric life''' in town, and tries to involve the tradition of shrimp fishing on foot or horseback as much as possible in the working of the museum.<br />
<br />
::Traditionally, for example, a '''‘Paardenvissers in het museum’-day''' (''‘Shrimp fishermen on horseback in the museum’-day'') is organized. On that day, the fishermen drag their nets to the museum, where they prepare the catch of the day on the museum square. The two associations of shrimp fishermen on foot (the [http://inwoner.koksijde.be/gidsendetail.aspx?id=224 Slepers] and the [http://inwoner.koksijde.be/gidsendetail.aspx?id=156 Spanjaardbank]) are also present with snacks from the sea.

The absolute highlight of the weekend is the Shrimp Parade, which moves through the streets of Oostduinkerke on Sunday afternoon and is attended by ‘Mieke Garnaal’ (''‘Mieke Shrimp’'') and her two honorary ladies. The Parade depicts the life of a fisherman, with references to some of the most important historic moments in the past of Oostduinkerke.

The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B.

The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>).

The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008).

<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone.

The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Nieuwpoort (Geographic coordinates: 51°7′N, 2°45′E) is a town situated at the western part of the Belgian Coast and has a population of 11000 people. The port of Nieuwpoort is the only natural harbour of the Flemish/Belgian coast and is located at the mouth of the IJzer river. The quay walls of the fishing harbour covers an area of 400 meters and are managed by the city. Recently the city council introduced new pontoons in the fishing harbour. Those 36 meters of pontoons are especially built for the new generation polyester fishing ships. Due to tidal forces, the ships that are moored against the quay walls move along with the tides. The movements damage the fishing ships that are made out of polyester.<br />
<br />
The first fish auction, a wooden building, was built in 1924. In 1928, a second auction was built. During the Second World War the auction was destroyed and a new fish auction was established in 1953. In 1972 the fish auction enlarged to its current size <ref name="Beun"> [http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=109404 Beun, J. (2011). Nieuwpoort die "Goldene Stadt".

An electronic auction system was introduced in 1999 and since 2013 there is a joint auction system between the fish auction of Nieuwpoort and Oostende-Zeebrugge.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

Promovis works closely with ship-owners, fishermen, the fish auction and retailers, the city of Nieuwpoort and the Province of West-Flanders<ref name="Promoviswebsite">[http://www.promovis.be/index.php www.promovis.be]</ref>.<br />
<br />
<br />
The objectives of Promovis Nieuwpoort are<ref name="Promoviswebsite"/>:<br />
* Determining the geographic and quality criteria to which fish must meet in order to receive the local quality label (Fish of Nieuwpoort)<br />
* To promote the fish of Nieuwpoort as a quality product <br />
* Support the professional/commercial fishing fleet and fish market of Nieuwpoort<br />
* Support and promote the fishing port of Nieuwpoort as an economic, cultural, touristic and maritime unit <br />
<br />
In addition, Promovis aims to strengthen the relationship, which is so often lacking, between the different actors. Promovis tries to strive for 'alliance' between ship-owners - fisherman – fish auction – fish traders. Each link is equally important and indispensable to create sufficient value within the fishing industry so that the industry can prosper economically and socially.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques<ref>[http://www.dekustkijktverder.be/index.php?id=98 De Kust kijkt verder: Purus Garnaal]</ref>. <br />

Annually during September, the fish auction of Nieuwpoort is dominated by the brown shrimps of Nieuwpoort. During this day several activities are held inside and outside the fish auction. There is a shrimp peeling competition for children between 8 and 12 years old, shrimp cooking demonstrations, the possibility to visit the [http://www.vliz.be/cijfers_beleid/zeevisserij/photo_gallery.php?album=929&pic=32162 Z582], a shrimp vessel.

In 1893 the “Vrije Visserijschool Nieuwpoort”, the first '''fisheries school''' of Nieuwpoort, opened its doors <ref>Smet , R., Vannecke, A. (2002). Historiek van het technisch en beroepsonderwijs, 1830-1990. Garant: Antwerpen. ISBN 90-441-1326-7. 1014 pp. </ref>. However only since 1944 the school became a fulltime day school. The fisheries school in Nieuwpoort was the smallest school in Belgium with only ten students graduating each year. The low amount of students caused the closure of the school in 1991.<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=45560 Visserijblad maart 1991]</ref><br />

----<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Nieuwpoort (Geographic coordinates: 51°7′N, 2°45′E) is a town situated at the western part of the Belgian Coast and has a population of 11000 people. The port of Nieuwpoort is the only natural harbour of the Flemish/Belgian coast and is located at the mouth of the IJzer river. The quay walls of the fishing harbour covers an area of 400 meters and are managed by the city. Recently the city council introduced new pontoons in the fishing harbour. Those 36 meters of pontoons are especially built for the new generation polyester fishing ships. Due to tidal forces, the ships that are moored against the quay walls move along with the tides. The movements damage the fishing ships that are made out of polyester.<br />
<br />
The first fish auction, a wooden building, was built in 1924. In 1928, a second auction was built. During the Second World War the auction was destroyed and a new fish auction was established in 1953. In 1972 the fish auction enlarged to its current size <ref name="Beun"> [http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=109404 Beun, J. (2011). Nieuwpoort die "Goldene Stadt". Published by the author(s): Nieuwpoort. 24 pp.]</ref>. An electronic auction system was introduced in 1999 and since 2013 there is a joint auction system between the fish auction of Nieuwpoort and Oostende-Zeebrugge.<br />

Moreover, vessels with engine power >221 kW are not allowed to fish within the 12nm which is reserved for the inshore fisheries or Small Fleet Segment ([http://codexws.vandenbroele.be/Export/1014219.html Ministerial Decree of December 16, 2005])<br />

Graph 2 shows the total landings in Belgian harbours (blue graph) in tonnes and the landings in Nieuwpoort (purple line). The graph shows a peak of landings in 1943, around 40000 tonnes were landed in the auction of Nieuwpoort. 1943 is also the year with the highest amount of landings value (see graph 3). Graph 4 illustrates that the species that was abundantly landed in 1943 was herring.

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

The non-profit organization [http://www.promovis.be Promovis] Nieuwpoort was founded in 2003 by Marcel Madou (former director of the fish auction of Nieuwpoort), Ronny Beschuyt (current Director of the fish auction of Nieuwpoort) and Romeo Rau (fish merchant and chairman of Promovis) to promote inshore fisheries in Nieuwpoort as well as the fish market of Nieuwpoort <ref name="Promovis2013">Promovis (2013) Brochure Promovis 2013. 72 pp.</ref>.<br />
The committee of Promovis is composed of persons with different expertise; the committee of 2013 consists of the former and current director of the fish auction of Nieuwpoort, a representative from the Province of West-Flanders, fish merchants and the alderman for fisheries in Nieuwpoort, mr. K. Vandecasteele. Promovis works closely with ship-owners, fishermen, the fish auction and retailers, the city of Nieuwpoort and the Province of West-Flanders<ref name="Promoviswebsite">[http://www.promovis.be/index.php www.promovis.be]</ref>.<br />
<br />
<br />
The objectives of Promovis Nieuwpoort are<ref name="Promoviswebsite"/>:<br />
* Determining the geographic and quality criteria to which fish must meet in order to receive the local quality label (Fish of Nieuwpoort)<br />
* To promote the fish of Nieuwpoort as a quality product <br />
* Support the professional/commercial fishing fleet and fish market of Nieuwpoort<br />
* Support and promote the fishing port of Nieuwpoort as an economic, cultural, touristic and maritime unit <br />
<br />
In addition, Promovis aims to strengthen the relationship, which is so often lacking, between the different actors. Promovis tries to strive for 'alliance' between ship-owners - fisherman – fish auction – fish traders. Each link is equally important and indispensable to create sufficient value within the fishing industry so that the industry can prosper economically and socially.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques<ref>[http://www.dekustkijktverder.be/index.php?id=98 De Kust kijkt verder: Purus Garnaal]</ref>. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008).

The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone.

The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Heist (Geographical coordinates: 51°20'N 3°14'E) is situated at the eastern part of the Belgian coast and has a population of about 12.900 people. It is part of the municipality Knokke-Heist, which next to Heist and Knokke also comprises the villages Ramskapelle, Westkapelle and Duinbergen. From the 13th century onwards, Heist became known as a relatively important fishing place, despite the absence of an actual port. Traditionally, the fishing vessels moored on the beach. Similar to those of Blankenberge, the boats of Heist had a flat bottom, which made it easier to land on and depart from the beach <ref name="Lar">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=120722 Larbouillat, J.

Circa 1525, Heist had around 10 herring busses (‘haringbuizen’) and 150 fishermen, on a total number of 450 inhabitants <ref name="Sincfala"> [http://www.sincfala.be/sf/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&Itemid=107 ‘Evolutie van strand- en kustvisserij’] Sincfala – Museum van de Zwinstreek, consulted on february 19th, 2014. </ref>. However, due to the religious wars in the second half of the 16th century, this industry vanished in Heist and during the 17th and the first part of the 18th century no active fishermen were reported in this village.

In 1901, Heist even got its own fish auction.

In [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landings of ‘fresh fish’ were recorded from 1836 till 1907. The category ‘fresh fish’ refers to fish caught by coastal fishing vessels. A further classification by species is unfortunately not available. Heist played an important part in this type of fishery during the 19th century, but couldn’t hold on to that position after the inauguration of the harbour of Zeebrugge in 1906. The landing figures were written down in the old currency of the Belgian franc.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT)<ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008).

The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

De Panne (Geographical coordinates: 51°06'N 2°36'E) is the westernmost Belgian coastal town, which means it shares a border with France. It has a population of almost 10.800 people. The history of De Panne is closely linked with that of Adinkerke, nowadays a small village, situated about 3 kilometres from the sea, that belongs to the municipality of De Panne. The situation used to be reversed however: during the late 18th century, De Panne was part of the larger parish and municipality of Adinkerke <ref name="Gys">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225642 Gyselinck, N.; Lanszweert, W.; Steevens, I.; Wolny, M.

Yet, because of the growing importance of coastal tourism from the late 19th century on, De Panne eventually transformed into a larger town than Adinkerke and became independent in 1911 <ref name="geschiedenis">[http://www.depanne.be/product/467/geschiedenis-van-de-panne-en-adinkerke-in-een-notendop Geschiedenis van De Panne en Adinkerke in een notendop], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. Originally though, De Panne was primarily a fishing place. It was only founded in 1783, during the time the Austrian branch of the Habsburg Monarchy ruled the Southern Netherlands. Emperor Joseph II wanted to stimulate the inshore fisheries and therefore agreed with the proposition of six dignitaries from Veurne to erect a small fishing settlement in the dunes between Adinkerke and Koksijde. Two years after its foundation, the village of De Panne (originally named ‘Josephdorp’ - after Joseph II - and ‘Kerckepanne’) already counted 26 houses <ref name="Gys"/><ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=221639 Bauwens, J.

The fisheries - and especially the small herring fisheries close to the coast - in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on, and the fishing community steadily grew <ref name="Gys"/>. Around the turn of the century, a number of shipyards were active in De Panne, while several small fish smoke houses were also present in the village <ref name="Desnerck">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=9601 Desnerck, G.; Desnerck, R.

An important figure in this thriving evolution was [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&show=search Pierre Bortier] (1805-1879), a wealthy landowner and philanthropist, who strongly believed that agriculture and fisheries were the crucial basis for a prosperous society.

The lack of its harbour however, eventually led to the decline of the fishery industry in De Panne. Although over the years, several plans were made for the construction of a harbour for the fishing fleet of De Panne, none of these projects actually succeeded. After the First World War, more and more fishers left De Panne for Nieuwpoort and Ostend and soon after the Second World War, all professional fishery activity in De Panne ceased to exist <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

As shown on graph 1, the fleet of Adinkerke and De Panne gradually grew over the course of the 19th century and eventually increased substantially around the turn of the century. Because of the modernization and increase in scale of the fisheries sectors after World War I however, the fisheries sector soon relocated to coastal towns with harbours. Since De Panne never got its own harbour, it became less important as a fishing village, and the size of the fleet subsequently rapidly decreased <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

Due to the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne and Adinkerke during the second half of the 19th century, lots of people were employed in this industry. Graph 2 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1936 until 1907. The number especially peaked around the turn of the century, parallel to the development of the fishing fleet of De Panne and Adinkerke. In 1900, no less than 420 fishermen were active in De Panne and Adinkerke <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

As noted above, the fisheries in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on. The fleet of De Panne applied itself especially to what was called the small herring fisheries: the catch of fresh herring close to the coast <ref name="Gys"/>. In [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landings of this fresh herring were recorded from 1842 till 1906. For the years 1842-1850, this was written down in kilograms (see Graph 3), from 1851 on however the landings were reported in the old currency of the Belgian franc (see Graph 4). Graph 4 clearly shows that De Panne was the most important contributor of this small herring fisheries. This type of fishery quickly descended shortly after the turn of the century, when its industrial importance grew smaller <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

In De Panne, the '''local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’''' was founded in 1993. Its primary objective is the preservation, maintenance and promotion of the maritime heritage that laid the foundation for the development of this coastal town. The most important activity of this club is the maintenance of the fishing vessel ‘De Pannevisser P1’, but its members also collect all kinds of data about the history of fisheries in De Panne and the West Coast <ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 Heemkundige vereniging ‘De Panneboot P1’], Site De Bliedemaker.</ref>.

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

*In the '''‘Retrohuis De Viswinkel’''' (''‘Retrohouse The Fish Shop’''), visitors can look back nostalgically at the old fish shop of the late G. Vanzeebrouck, which also included an ice shop and a small artisan fish smokehouse. The exhibition sheds light on the history of local fisheries and tells the story of the fishing village that De Panne used to be. The house contains several models of fishing vessels, pictures and all kinds of objects related with fishing. The Retrohouse is an initiative of the local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’ <ref name="viswinkel"/>.<br />
<br />
*Also by courtesy of the local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’, De Panne possesses '''one of the last traditional inshore fishing vessel''' of the Flemish coast, also named the ‘Panneboot P1’. The vessel is an example of a ''‘pannekotter’'', the smaller successor of the famous ''‘pannepot’''. After the second world war, this type of ship slowly disappeared along the coast, but a team of enthusiasts reconstructed the ‘Panneboot P1’. Since 2003, the ship is seaworthy again. Currently, the boat is on display in front of the Saint Peter’s Church of De Panne. On occasion, the ‘Panneboot P1’ still sails and from time to time, the ship is used for educational purposes <ref>[http://www.watererfgoed.be/Docs/BehoudenVaartInhoud.pdf VCM-Brochure Behouden Vaart.

*The '''statue''' of local fisherman Pier Kloeffe can be found in the dunes of De Panne. Pier Kloeffe (1853-1939) was born in 1853 as Petrus Decreton. However, his whole family was given the nickname Kloeffe, because their ancestors ran an inn called ‘De Kloeffe’ on the road to Veurne. Pier Kloeffe made nine fishing trips to Iceland, but decided after the First World War to stay closer to home. From then on, Pier appeared every day without fail on the beach of De Panne, ready to practise 'gill net fishing’. He was always dressed in the typical fishing attire of the region, which consisted of a blue sailor’s hat with a black brim, a red linen shirt (''‘kazuifel’'' in Dutch) and thick dark blue trousers. His white beard was typical of the old Iceland fishermen <ref>[http://tourism.depanne.be/product/1203/pier-kloeffe Pier Kloeffe], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. The statue on the beach of De Panne is an enlargement of a 30-centimetre tall figurine made earlier by the artist Louis Van den Eynde (1881-1966), who was a close friend of Pier Kloeffe <ref>[http://www.dekust.be/ontdekken/beeld-pier-kloeffe Beeld Pier Kloeffe], Site De Kust.</ref>.<br />

In 1894, a first attempt was made to open a '''fisheries school''' in De Panne, but it was unfortunately a short-lived endeavor. However, in 1903, the reverend father Vanneste resurrected the idea and founded a fisheries school, modelled after similar institutes in other Belgian coastal towns. The fisheries school in De Panne was one of the most attended, with around 80 or 90 students <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225640 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I.

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT)<ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

De Panne (Geographical coordinates: 51°06'N 2°36'E) is the westernmost Belgian coastal town, which means it shares a border with France. It has a population of almost 10.800 people. The history of De Panne is closely linked with that of Adinkerke, nowadays a small village, situated about 3 kilometres from the sea, that belongs to the municipality of De Panne. The situation used to be reversed however: during the late 18th century, De Panne was part of the larger parish and municipality of Adinkerke <ref name="Gys">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225642 Gyselinck, N.; Lanszweert, W.; Steevens, I.; Wolny, M. (2013). Kust- en zeevisserij, in: Steevens, I. et al. (Ed.) (2013). Zeevisserij aan de Vlaamse kust. pp. 114-165.]</ref>. Yet, because of the growing importance of coastal tourism from the late 19th century on, De Panne eventually transformed into a larger town than Adinkerke and became independent in 1911 <ref name="geschiedenis">[http://www.depanne.be/product/467/geschiedenis-van-de-panne-en-adinkerke-in-een-notendop Geschiedenis van De Panne en Adinkerke in een notendop], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. Originally though, De Panne was primarily a fishing place. It was only founded in 1783, during the time the Austrian branch of the Habsburg Monarchy ruled the Southern Netherlands. Emperor Joseph II wanted to stimulate the inshore fisheries and therefore agreed with the proposition of six dignitaries from Veurne to erect a small fishing settlement in the dunes between Adinkerke and Koksijde. Two years after its foundation, the village of De Panne (originally named ‘Josephdorp’ - after Joseph II - and ‘Kerckepanne’) already counted 26 houses <ref name="Gys"/><ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=221639 Bauwens, J.

The fisheries - and especially the small herring fisheries close to the coast - in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on, and the fishing community steadily grew <ref name="Gys"/>. Around the turn of the century, a number of shipyards were active in De Panne, while several small fish smoke houses were also present in the village <ref name="Desnerck">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=9601 Desnerck, G.; Desnerck, R. (1974). Vlaamse visserij en vissersvaartuigen: 1. De havens. Gaston Desnerck: Oostduinkerke. 256 pp.]</ref>. An important figure in this thriving evolution was [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&show=search Pierre Bortier] (1805-1879), a wealthy landowner and philanthropist, who strongly believed that agriculture and fisheries were the crucial basis for a prosperous society. Bortier was closely involved in the fishery life of De Panne and encouraged the fishermen to take ownership of their very own fishing vessels, which was one of the reasons for the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne during the second half of the 19th century <ref name="Desnerck"/><ref name="geschiedenis"/>. With 2050 inhabitants and 88 fishing vessels in 1903, De Panne was the second most important Belgian fishers community (after Ostend) at the time <ref name="Gys"/><ref name="Zuttere">[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=36108 De Zuttere, C. (1909). Enquête sur la pêche maritime en Belgique: introduction, recencement de la pêche maritime. Lebègue & cie: Bruxelles. 634 pp]</ref>. The lack of its harbour however, eventually led to the decline of the fishery industry in De Panne. Although over the years, several plans were made for the construction of a harbour for the fishing fleet of De Panne, none of these projects actually succeeded. After the First World War, more and more fishers left De Panne for Nieuwpoort and Ostend and soon after the Second World War, all professional fishery activity in De Panne ceased to exist <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

As shown on graph 1, the fleet of Adinkerke and De Panne gradually grew over the course of the 19th century and eventually increased substantially around the turn of the century. Because of the modernization and increase in scale of the fisheries sectors after World War I however, the fisheries sector soon relocated to coastal towns with harbours. Since De Panne never got its own harbour, it became less important as a fishing village, and the size of the fleet subsequently rapidly decreased <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

Due to the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne and Adinkerke during the second half of the 19th century, lots of people were employed in this industry. Graph 2 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1936 until 1907. The number especially peaked around the turn of the century, parallel to the development of the fishing fleet of De Panne and Adinkerke. In 1900, no less than 420 fishermen were active in De Panne and Adinkerke <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

As noted above, the fisheries in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on. The fleet of De Panne applied itself especially to what was called the small herring fisheries: the catch of fresh herring close to the coast <ref name="Gys"/>. In [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landings of this fresh herring were recorded from 1842 till 1906. For the years 1842-1850, this was written down in kilograms (see Graph 3), from 1851 on however the landings were reported in the old currency of the Belgian franc (see Graph 4). Graph 4 clearly shows that De Panne was the most important contributor of this small herring fisheries. This type of fishery quickly descended shortly after the turn of the century, when its industrial importance grew smaller <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

In De Panne, the '''local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’''' was founded in 1993. Its primary objective is the preservation, maintenance and promotion of the maritime heritage that laid the foundation for the development of this coastal town. The most important activity of this club is the maintenance of the fishing vessel ‘De Pannevisser P1’, but its members also collect all kinds of data about the history of fisheries in De Panne and the West Coast <ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 Heemkundige vereniging ‘De Panneboot P1’], Site De Bliedemaker.</ref>.

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

*The '''statue''' of local fisherman Pier Kloeffe can be found in the dunes of De Panne. Pier Kloeffe (1853-1939) was born in 1853 as Petrus Decreton. However, his whole family was given the nickname Kloeffe, because their ancestors ran an inn called ‘De Kloeffe’ on the road to Veurne. Pier Kloeffe made nine fishing trips to Iceland, but decided after the First World War to stay closer to home. From then on, Pier appeared every day without fail on the beach of De Panne, ready to practise 'gill net fishing’. He was always dressed in the typical fishing attire of the region, which consisted of a blue sailor’s hat with a black brim, a red linen shirt (''‘kazuifel’'' in Dutch) and thick dark blue trousers. His white beard was typical of the old Iceland fishermen <ref>[http://tourism.depanne.be/product/1203/pier-kloeffe Pier Kloeffe], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>.

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT)<ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>. A historical overview of Belgian sea fisheries is available from <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=197334 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Debergh, H.; Vincx, M.; Mees, J. (2010).

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

De Panne (Geographical coordinates: 51°06'N 2°36'E) is the westernmost Belgian coastal town, which means it shares a border with France. It has a population of almost 10.800 people. The history of De Panne is closely linked with that of Adinkerke, nowadays a small village, situated about 3 kilometres from the sea, that belongs to the municipality of De Panne. The situation used to be reversed however: during the late 18th century, De Panne was part of the larger parish and municipality of Adinkerke <ref name="Gys">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225642 Gyselinck, N.; Lanszweert, W.; Steevens, I.; Wolny, M. (2013). Kust- en zeevisserij, in: Steevens, I. et al. (Ed.) (2013). Zeevisserij aan de Vlaamse kust. pp. 114-165.]</ref>. Yet, because of the growing importance of coastal tourism from the late 19th century on, De Panne eventually transformed into a larger town than Adinkerke and became independent in 1911 <ref name="geschiedenis">[http://www.depanne.be/product/467/geschiedenis-van-de-panne-en-adinkerke-in-een-notendop Geschiedenis van De Panne en Adinkerke in een notendop], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. Originally though, De Panne was primarily a fishing place. It was only founded in 1783, during the time the Austrian branch of the Habsburg Monarchy ruled the Southern Netherlands. Emperor Joseph II wanted to stimulate the inshore fisheries and therefore agreed with the proposition of six dignitaries from Veurne to erect a small fishing settlement in the dunes between Adinkerke and Koksijde. Two years after its foundation, the village of De Panne (originally named ‘Josephdorp’ - after Joseph II - and ‘Kerckepanne’) already counted 26 houses <ref name="Gys"/><ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=221639 Bauwens, J.

<br />
The fisheries - and especially the small herring fisheries close to the coast - in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on, and the fishing community steadily grew <ref name="Gys"/>. Around the turn of the century, a number of shipyards were active in De Panne, while several small fish smoke houses were also present in the village <ref name="Desnerck">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=9601 Desnerck, G.; Desnerck, R. (1974). Vlaamse visserij en vissersvaartuigen: 1. De havens. Gaston Desnerck: Oostduinkerke. 256 pp.]</ref>. An important figure in this thriving evolution was [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&show=search Pierre Bortier] (1805-1879), a wealthy landowner and philanthropist, who strongly believed that agriculture and fisheries were the crucial basis for a prosperous society. Bortier was closely involved in the fishery life of De Panne and encouraged the fishermen to take ownership of their very own fishing vessels, which was one of the reasons for the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne during the second half of the 19th century <ref name="Desnerck"/><ref name="geschiedenis"/>. With 2050 inhabitants and 88 fishing vessels in 1903, De Panne was the second most important Belgian fishers community (after Ostend) at the time <ref name="Gys"/><ref name="Zuttere">[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=36108 De Zuttere, C. (1909). Enquête sur la pêche maritime en Belgique: introduction, recencement de la pêche maritime. Lebègue & cie: Bruxelles. 634 pp]</ref>. The lack of its harbour however, eventually led to the decline of the fishery industry in De Panne. Although over the years, several plans were made for the construction of a harbour for the fishing fleet of De Panne, none of these projects actually succeeded. After the First World War, more and more fishers left De Panne for Nieuwpoort and Ostend and soon after the Second World War, all professional fishery activity in De Panne ceased to exist <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

As shown on graph 1, the fleet of Adinkerke and De Panne gradually grew over the course of the 19th century and eventually increased substantially around the turn of the century. Because of the modernization and increase in scale of the fisheries sectors after World War I however, the fisheries sector soon relocated to coastal towns with harbours. Since De Panne never got its own harbour, it became less important as a fishing village, and the size of the fleet subsequently rapidly decreased <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

<br />
Due to the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne and Adinkerke during the second half of the 19th century, lots of people were employed in this industry. Graph 2 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1936 until 1907. The number especially peaked around the turn of the century, parallel to the development of the fishing fleet of De Panne and Adinkerke. In 1900, no less than 420 fishermen were active in De Panne and Adinkerke <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

As noted above, the fisheries in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on. The fleet of De Panne applied itself especially to what was called the small herring fisheries: the catch of fresh herring close to the coast <ref name="Gys"/>. In [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landings of this fresh herring were recorded from 1842 till 1906. For the years 1842-1850, this was written down in kilograms (see Graph 3), from 1851 on however the landings were reported in the old currency of the Belgian franc (see Graph 4). Graph 4 clearly shows that De Panne was the most important contributor of this small herring fisheries. This type of fishery quickly descended shortly after the turn of the century, when its industrial importance grew smaller <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

Also in [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landing of ‘fresh fish’ was recorded during the period 1836-1907. The category ‘fresh fish’ refers to fish caught by coastal fishing vessels. A further classification by species is unfortunately not available.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

In De Panne, the '''local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’''' was founded in 1993. Its primary objective is the preservation, maintenance and promotion of the maritime heritage that laid the foundation for the development of this coastal town. The most important activity of this club is the maintenance of the fishing vessel ‘De Pannevisser P1’, but its members also collect all kinds of data about the history of fisheries in De Panne and the West Coast <ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 Heemkundige vereniging ‘De Panneboot P1’], Site De Bliedemaker.</ref>.

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

[[Image:North_Sea_Life.jpg|100px|thumb|left]]<br />
Since 2011, the Flemish Shellfish- and fish cooperation (VSVC) supply, via an exclusive quality label, '''North Sea Life''', life brown shrimps and swimming crabs to restaurants and wholesalers. Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

*In the '''‘Retrohuis De Viswinkel’''' (''‘Retrohouse The Fish Shop’''), visitors can look back nostalgically at the old fish shop of the late G. Vanzeebrouck, which also included an ice shop and a small artisan fish smokehouse. The exhibition sheds light on the history of local fisheries and tells the story of the fishing village that De Panne used to be. The house contains several models of fishing vessels, pictures and all kinds of objects related with fishing. The Retrohouse is an initiative of the local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’ <ref name="viswinkel"/>.<br />
<br />
*Also by courtesy of the local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’, De Panne possesses '''one of the last traditional inshore fishing vessel''' of the Flemish coast, also named the ‘Panneboot P1’. The vessel is an example of a ''‘pannekotter’'', the smaller successor of the famous ''‘pannepot’''. After the second world war, this type of ship slowly disappeared along the coast, but a team of enthusiasts reconstructed the ‘Panneboot P1’. Since 2003, the ship is seaworthy again. Currently, the boat is on display in front of the Saint Peter’s Church of De Panne. On occasion, the ‘Panneboot P1’ still sails and from time to time, the ship is used for educational purposes <ref>[http://www.watererfgoed.be/Docs/BehoudenVaartInhoud.pdf VCM-Brochure Behouden Vaart.

*The '''statue''' of local fisherman Pier Kloeffe can be found in the dunes of De Panne. Pier Kloeffe (1853-1939) was born in 1853 as Petrus Decreton. However, his whole family was given the nickname Kloeffe, because their ancestors ran an inn called ‘De Kloeffe’ on the road to Veurne. Pier Kloeffe made nine fishing trips to Iceland, but decided after the First World War to stay closer to home. From then on, Pier appeared every day without fail on the beach of De Panne, ready to practise 'gill net fishing’. He was always dressed in the typical fishing attire of the region, which consisted of a blue sailor’s hat with a black brim, a red linen shirt (''‘kazuifel’'' in Dutch) and thick dark blue trousers. His white beard was typical of the old Iceland fishermen <ref>[http://tourism.depanne.be/product/1203/pier-kloeffe Pier Kloeffe], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. The statue on the beach of De Panne is an enlargement of a 30-centimetre tall figurine made earlier by the artist Louis Van den Eynde (1881-1966), who was a close friend of Pier Kloeffe <ref>[http://www.dekust.be/ontdekken/beeld-pier-kloeffe Beeld Pier Kloeffe], Site De Kust.</ref>.<br />

In 1894, a first attempt was made to open a '''fisheries school''' in De Panne, but it was unfortunately a short-lived endeavor. However, in 1903, the reverend father Vanneste resurrected the idea and founded a fisheries school, modelled after similar institutes in other Belgian coastal towns. The fisheries school in De Panne was one of the most attended, with around 80 or 90 students <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225640 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I.

<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross Tonnage (GT)<ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross Tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers(2010)focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>.

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

De Panne (Geographical coordinates: 51°06'N 2°36'E) is the westernmost Belgian coastal town, which means it shares a border with France. It has a population of almost 10.800 people. The history of De Panne is closely linked with that of Adinkerke, nowadays a small village, situated about 3 kilometres from the sea, that belongs to the municipality of De Panne. The situation used to be reversed however: during the late 18th century, De Panne was part of the larger parish and municipality of Adinkerke <ref name="Gys">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225642 Gyselinck, N.; Lanszweert, W.; Steevens, I.; Wolny, M. (2013). Kust- en zeevisserij, in: Steevens, I. et al. (Ed.) (2013). Zeevisserij aan de Vlaamse kust. pp. 114-165.]</ref>. Yet, because of the growing importance of coastal tourism from the late 19th century on, De Panne eventually transformed into a larger town than Adinkerke and became independent in 1911 <ref name="geschiedenis">[http://www.depanne.be/product/467/geschiedenis-van-de-panne-en-adinkerke-in-een-notendop Geschiedenis van De Panne en Adinkerke in een notendop], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. Originally though, De Panne was primarily a fishing place. It was only founded in 1783, during the time the Austrian branch of the Habsburg Monarchy ruled the Southern Netherlands. Emperor Joseph II wanted to stimulate the inshore fisheries and therefore agreed with the proposition of six dignitaries from Veurne to erect a small fishing settlement in the dunes between Adinkerke and Koksijde. Two years after its foundation, the village of De Panne (originally named ‘Josephdorp’ - after Joseph II - and ‘Kerckepanne’) already counted 26 houses <ref name="Gys"/><ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=221639 Bauwens, J.

<br />
The fisheries - and especially the small herring fisheries close to the coast - in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on, and the fishing community steadily grew <ref name="Gys"/>. Around the turn of the century, a number of shipyards were active in De Panne, while several small fish smoke houses were also present in the village <ref name="Desnerck">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=9601 Desnerck, G.; Desnerck, R. (1974). Vlaamse visserij en vissersvaartuigen: 1. De havens. Gaston Desnerck: Oostduinkerke. 256 pp.]</ref>. An important figure in this thriving evolution was [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&show=search Pierre Bortier] (1805-1879), a wealthy landowner and philanthropist, who strongly believed that agriculture and fisheries were the crucial basis for a prosperous society. Bortier was closely involved in the fishery life of De Panne and encouraged the fishermen to take ownership of their very own fishing vessels, which was one of the reasons for the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne during the second half of the 19th century <ref name="Desnerck"/><ref name="geschiedenis"/>. With 2050 inhabitants and 88 fishing vessels in 1903, De Panne was the second most important Belgian fishers community (after Ostend) at the time <ref name="Gys"/><ref name="Zuttere">[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=36108 De Zuttere, C. (1909). Enquête sur la pêche maritime en Belgique: introduction, recencement de la pêche maritime. Lebègue & cie: Bruxelles. 634 pp]</ref>. The lack of its harbour however, eventually led to the decline of the fishery industry in De Panne. Although over the years, several plans were made for the construction of a harbour for the fishing fleet of De Panne, none of these projects actually succeeded. After the First World War, more and more fishers left De Panne for Nieuwpoort and Ostend and soon after the Second World War, all professional fishery activity in De Panne ceased to exist <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

As shown on graph 1, the fleet of Adinkerke and De Panne gradually grew over the course of the 19th century and eventually increased substantially around the turn of the century. Because of the modernization and increase in scale of the fisheries sectors after World War I however, the fisheries sector soon relocated to coastal towns with harbours. Since De Panne never got its own harbour, it became less important as a fishing village, and the size of the fleet subsequently rapidly decreased <ref name="Gys"/>.<br />

<br />
Due to the prosperous situation of the fisheries sector in De Panne and Adinkerke during the second half of the 19th century, lots of people were employed in this industry. Graph 2 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1936 until 1907. The number especially peaked around the turn of the century, parallel to the development of the fishing fleet of De Panne and Adinkerke. In 1900, no less than 420 fishermen were active in De Panne and Adinkerke <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

As noted above, the fisheries in De Panne flourished from the middle of the 19th century on. The fleet of De Panne applied itself especially to what was called the small herring fisheries: the catch of fresh herring close to the coast <ref name="Gys"/>. In [http://www.vliz.be/nl/open-marien-archief?module=ref&refid=36108 Dezuttere, 1909], the annual landings of this fresh herring were recorded from 1842 till 1906. For the years 1842-1850, this was written down in kilograms (see Graph 3), from 1851 on however the landings were reported in the old currency of the Belgian franc (see Graph 4). Graph 4 clearly shows that De Panne was the most important contributor of this small herring fisheries. This type of fishery quickly descended shortly after the turn of the century, when its industrial importance grew smaller <ref name="Zuttere"/>.<br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

In De Panne, the '''local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’''' was founded in 1993. Its primary objective is the preservation, maintenance and promotion of the maritime heritage that laid the foundation for the development of this coastal town. The most important activity of this club is the maintenance of the fishing vessel ‘De Pannevisser P1’, but its members also collect all kinds of data about the history of fisheries in De Panne and the West Coast <ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 Heemkundige vereniging ‘De Panneboot P1’], Site De Bliedemaker.</ref>.

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques. <br />

Life shrimps allows chefs to determine how they will prepare the shrimps. Life product forms the base of creative and gastronomic possibilities. The same is true for life swimming crabs. In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day. Prices for life shrimps are on average 30 percent higher than shrimps cooked on board of the shrimp vessel<ref>[http://www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/NL/Persenmedia/Allemedia/tabid/6294/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1105/language/nl-NL/ILVO-ziet-in-rauwe-garnaal-meer-dan-lucratieve-niche.aspx#.UyBv6vldVSL ILVO ziet in rauwe garnaal meer dan lucratieve niche]</ref>.<br />

De Panne has several '''fish shops''', of which an overview can be found [http://www.goudengids.be/viswinkels/de-panne-8660/ here] and [https://www.google.be/maps/search/depanne+viswinkel/@51.096890,2.590292,13z here].<br />
<br />
[http://www.hotelfox.org/intro.html ‘Hostellerie Le Fox’], a '''restaurant''' with two Michelin stars, is located near the sea wall of De Panne. The chef, Stéphane Buyens, is a passionate advocate of using local ingredients in his dishes. For his fish meals, he resolutely chooses fresh fish from the North Sea. This includes such species as plaice, cod, sole and shrimp, which he deems ‘the caviar of the North Sea’ <ref>[http://www.hetlekkerewesten.be/stephane-buyens.html Interview Stéphane Buyens, Site Het Lekkere Westen.]</ref>. Several other restaurants in the neighbourhood, such as [http://www.leflore.be/nl/2011/04/la-cuisine/ ‘Le Flore’], [http://www.tram57.be/?page_id=13 ‘Tram 57’], [http://www.la-coupole.be/NL/fiche.asp?itemnr=16445 ‘La Coupole’] and [http://www.aufiletdesole.be/LaPanne/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=12 ‘Au Filet de Sole’], also value working with local products and fresh North Sea fish.<br />

Although De Panne has known a long maritime tradition, nowadays only few traces are left of its history as a fishing village <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=126150 Provincie West-Vlaanderen (2008).

*In De Panne you can visit the '''provincial visitors centre ‘[http://www.natuurenbos.be/nl-BE/Domeinen/Bezoekerscentra/VBNC_De_Nachtegaal.aspx#.Uy_9r00nKmQ De Nachtegaal]’''', which is located in the centre of the nature reserve ‘[http://www.natuurenbos.be/nl-BE/Domeinen/West-Vlaanderen/Duinen_en_Bossen_van_De_Panne.aspx#.Uy_9z00nKmQ Duinen en Bossen De Panne]’ (''‘Dunes and woods De Panne’''). ‘De Nachtegaal’ wants to provide visitors information on coastal environments and also discusses the history of the human occupation of the coastal region. As such, the story of the habitation of the dunes by fishermen is also briefly addressed <ref> [http://www.depanne.be/product/720/provinciaal-bezoekerscentrum-de-nachtegaal Provinciaal Bezoekerscentrum De Nachtegaal], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>.<br />
<br />
*In the '''‘Retrohuis De Viswinkel’''' (''‘Retrohouse The Fish Shop’''), visitors can look back nostalgically at the old fish shop of the late G. Vanzeebrouck, which also included an ice shop and a small artisan fish smokehouse. The exhibition sheds light on the history of local fisheries and tells the story of the fishing village that De Panne used to be. The house contains several models of fishing vessels, pictures and all kinds of objects related with fishing. The Retrohouse is an initiative of the local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’ <ref name="viswinkel"/>.<br />
<br />
*Also by courtesy of the local history and heritage club ‘[https://sites.google.com/site/debliedemaker/geschiedenis-1/de-heemkundige-vereniging--panneboot-p1 De Panneboot P1]’, De Panne possesses '''one of the last traditional inshore fishing vessel''' of the Flemish coast, also named the ‘Panneboot P1’. The vessel is an example of a ''‘pannekotter’'', the smaller successor of the famous ''‘pannepot’''. After the second world war, this type of ship slowly disappeared along the coast, but a team of enthusiasts reconstructed the ‘Panneboot P1’. Since 2003, the ship is seaworthy again. Currently, the boat is on display in front of the Saint Peter’s Church of De Panne. On occasion, the ‘Panneboot P1’ still sails and from time to time, the ship is used for educational purposes <ref>[http://www.watererfgoed.be/Docs/BehoudenVaartInhoud.pdf VCM-Brochure Behouden Vaart.

*The '''statue''' of local fisherman Pier Kloeffe can be found in the dunes of De Panne. Pier Kloeffe (1853-1939) was born in 1853 as Petrus Decreton. However, his whole family was given the nickname Kloeffe, because their ancestors ran an inn called ‘De Kloeffe’ on the road to Veurne. Pier Kloeffe made nine fishing trips to Iceland, but decided after the First World War to stay closer to home. From then on, Pier appeared every day without fail on the beach of De Panne, ready to practise 'gill net fishing’. He was always dressed in the typical fishing attire of the region, which consisted of a blue sailor’s hat with a black brim, a red linen shirt (''‘kazuifel’'' in Dutch) and thick dark blue trousers. His white beard was typical of the old Iceland fishermen <ref>[http://tourism.depanne.be/product/1203/pier-kloeffe Pier Kloeffe], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>. The statue on the beach of De Panne is an enlargement of a 30-centimetre tall figurine made earlier by the artist Louis Van den Eynde (1881-1966), who was a close friend of Pier Kloeffe <ref>[http://www.dekust.be/ontdekken/beeld-pier-kloeffe Beeld Pier Kloeffe], Site De Kust.</ref>.<br />

*Not only in [[Fisheries in Oostduinkerke|Oostduinkerke]], but also in De Panne, some shrimp fishermen on foot are active on the beach. From time to time, '''guided beach walks in the company of shrimp fishermen on foot''' are organised by the tourism department of De Panne <ref>[http://www.depanne.be/activiteitendetail/837/op-ontdekking-met-een-garnaalvisser Op ontdekking met een garnaalvisser], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>.<br />

*Since 2011, during the fair activities in De Panne on the third Saturday in June, an annual '''‘Visjchersmesse’''' ('''''‘Fisheries Mass’''''') is held in the Saint Peter’s Church of De Panne. During this Mass, only the local dialect is spoken. The stories and songs used in this Mass aim to keep the rich fishing tradition of De Panne and Adinkerke alive and commemorate the fishermen who lost their lives at sea <ref>[http://www.depanne.be/activiteitendetail/1005/dialectmis Dialectmis], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref><ref>[http://decoxydschegazette.wordpress.com/2013/06/17/de-visjchersmesse-in-de-sient-pieeterskerke-in-de-panne/ De Visjchersmesse, De Coxydsche Gazette.]</ref>. The Saint Peter’s Church furthermore still has a commemorative plate to remember the year 1783, when the first fishermen settled in the dunes and thus founded ‘Kerckepanne’, which would later be renamed De Panne <ref>[http://www.depanne.be/product/979/kerkstraat Kerkstraat], Site Gemeente De Panne.</ref>.<br />

In 1894, a first attempt was made to open a '''fisheries school''' in De Panne, but it was unfortunately a short-lived endeavor. However, in 1903, the reverend father Vanneste resurrected the idea and founded a fisheries school, modelled after similar institutes in other Belgian coastal towns. The fisheries school in De Panne was one of the most attended, with around 80 or 90 students <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225640 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I.

----<br />
The Belgian coast is 67 km long and is entirely bordering the province of West-Flanders (region of Flanders, Belgium). The Belgian part of the North Sea is 3,457 km<sup>2</sup> (0.5% of the North Sea area), of which more than 1/3 or 1,430 km² are territorial sea within 12 nautical miles distance of the coastline. Belgium currently has 10 coastal municipalities and 4 coastal ports (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Zeebrugge and Blankenberge), and besides the fish auctions located in Oostende, Zeebrugge and Nieuwpoort where fish is sold according to legal procedures, there are no other dispersed landing points. Although historically the port and auction of Oostende was by far the most important, today the auctions of Zeebrugge (53%) and Oostende (45%) receive the largest share of the landings of Belgian fisheries in Belgian ports. <br />
<br />
Belgium has a minor role in the European fisheries context with 0.35% of the total EU production of fish. In 2012, the Belgian commercial sea fishing fleet counted 86 ships, with a total engine capacity of 49,135 kW and gross tonnage of 15,326 Gross tonnage (GT) <ref name="Roegiers"> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=224957 Roegiers, B.; Platteau, J.; Van Bogaert, T.; Van Gijseghem, D.; Bekaert, K.; De Bruyne, S.; Delbare, D.; Depestele, J.; Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Moreau, K.; Polet, H.; Robbens, J.; Vandamme, S.; Van Hoey, G.; Verschueren, B. (2013). VIRA Visserijrapport 2012 Departement Landbouw en Visserij: Brussel. 98 pp.] </ref>. 45 vessels are part of the Small Fleet Segment (max 221 kW engine power) of which 2 use passive gear. The remaining 41 vessels belong to the Large Fleet Segment and have an engine power between 221 kW and a maximum of 1,200 kW. This fleet segment represents approximately 80% of the engine power capacity and 77% of the Gross tonnage of the fleet. While a smaller number use trammel nets (passive gear) and otter trawl, the largest share of the Large Fleet Segment are beam trawl vessels (≥662 kW). The Belgian fleet is highly specialized: more than 68% of the effort(days at sea) and 77% of total landings are achieved by beam trawlers (2010) focusing primarily on flatfish species such as plaice (<i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) and sole (<i>Solea solea</i>). The results of the reconstruction of the Belgian fleet dynamics since 1830 are presented in Lescrauwaet et al. 2013<ref name="LescrauwaetPhD">[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=228661 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.

Ghent University (UGent): Gent. xiii, 242 pp.] </ref>.<br />
<br />
The number of days at sea per vessel is fixed at a maximum of 265 per year and in 2011 the entire fleet realized a fishing effort of 15,855 days at sea. In 2011, the Belgian fleet landed a total of 20,138t, of which 16,905t were landed in Belgian ports. Plaice is the most important species in terms of landed weight. The landings of 2011 represented a value of €76.3 million, 14% of which was marketed in foreign ports. Sole generates 47% of the current total value of fisheries in Belgium. The Belgian sea fisheries represent 0.04% of the national Gross Domestic Product <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=131093 Anon. (2008). Strategische Milieubeoordeling van het Nationaal Operationeel Plan voor de Belgische visserijsector, 2007 - 2013. ILVO Visserij: Oostende. 103 pp.]</ref>. The main fishing grounds in terms of volume of landings in 2010 were in descending order: North Sea South (IVc), Eastern English Channel (VIId), North Sea Central (IVb), Southeast Ireland/Celtic Sea (VIIg) Bristol Channel (VIIf) and Irish Sea (VIIa). <br />
<br />
In terms of direct employment, 439 fishers are registered of which approximately 350 are of Belgian nationality. Direct employment in fisheries represent approximately 0.5% of the total employment in the Belgian coastal zone. Another 1040 persons work in the fish processing industry and another 5000 persons in associated trade and services <ref name="Roegiers"/>. A historical overview of Belgian sea fisheries is available from <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=197334 Lescrauwaet, A.-K.; Debergh, H.; Vincx, M.; Mees, J. (2010).

<br />
The Belgian sea fishery sector is rather small compared to that of neighbouring countries in the North Sea and has been gradually losing importance since the Second World War. It is also gradually losing importance relative to the booming tourism industry in the Belgian coastal zone. However fisheries can be an added value to the tourism experience at the coast by developing fisheries-related tourism activities <ref> [http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=214765 Anon.

Blankenberge (Geographical coordinates: 51°18′N 03°07′E) is a coastal town in Belgium and has a population of 19 500 people.<br />
Blankenberge has a long history of inshore fishing. The Blankenberge fleet were typical inshore fishing boats; small fishing boats with a wide bottom that were easy to slide from the beach. Fisheries in Blankenberge flourished in the late 17th century. At that time Blankenberge had the most important fleet from the Flemish coast. A first ship wharf was built in 1780. And in the 19th century the fishing port of Blankenberge expanded with first the construction of a harbour and the port channel. Formerly the fish was sold on the streets. In 1868 a room was arranged for fish sale, this room was called the “hangar” by the fishermen of Blankenberge. Despite the presence of an accommodation, fishers kept selling their fish on the streets and in 1875 the “hangar” was pulled down. In 1888 the sale of fish on the streets disappeared with the deployment of the fish auction. The last fish auction was held on 3rd of September 1958. In 1959 the fish auction was pulled down and a new one was built however this new fish auction has never been used, except for shrimp fisheries, due to the fisheries shutdown in Blankenberge. From that time onwards, fishermen of Blankenberge started selling their fish in the fish auctions of Oostende and Zeebrugge. In 1955 the fishing port of Blankenberge was reorganized into a marina which indicated the start for Blankenberge to grow into a touristic seaside town <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=ref&refid=106929 De Soete, D.

The Belgian definition of inshore fisheries ('kustvisserij') refers to vessels with an engine power of 221 kW or less (this includes any additional installed power) and a tonnage of no more than 70 GT, that make trips with a maximum period determined by the Minister (today being 48 hours) with start and end in a Belgian port. Moreover, vessels with engine power >221 kW are not allowed to fish within the 12nm which is reserved for the inshore fisheries or Small Fleet Segment ([http://codexws.vandenbroele.be/Export/1014219.html Ministerial Decree of December 16, 2005]). <br />

As already mentioned, there are almost no fishing activities left in Blankenberge. The number of fishermen is for this reason low. Graph 1 illustrates the number of fishermen from 1944 until 2012 with a peak of around 85 fishermen in 1944 and 1945. The number decreased after that and counts at the moment less than 40 fishermen.<br />

<br />
Graph 2 shows the total landings in Belgian harbours (blue graph) in tonnes and the landings in Blankenberge (red line). As explained earlier, landings in the auction of Blankenberge stopped in 1958. This means that only landings data from 1929 until 1958 are available. As is shown on the graph, the contribution of landings in the harbor of Blankenberge to the total landings of Belgian ports is small. There was a peak of 1571100 kg landings in Blankenberge in 1945. From that time onwards landings started to decrease in Blankenberge and stopped in 1958 with the closing of the fish auction. The same is true for the value of landings in Blankenberge (graph 3). The highest values were obtained in the year with the highest amount of landings: 1945 had a value of 40000 thousand €. <br />

In Belgium, the '''FLAG''', also called the ‘local group’, ‘Plaatselijke Groep Belgisch Zeevisserijgebied’, is a partnership between socio-economic stakeholders in the fisheries sector, NGOs and public authorities that play a crucial role in the implementation of the proposed development strategy. The lead partner of the Belgian FLAG is the Province of West Flanders. The main focus of the FLAG strategy is to add value to local fisheries products and increase local consumption. Belgian landings represent only 10% of fisheries products consumed in Belgium, leaving the remaining 90% to be met by imports. Therefore there is a considerable potential for discovering and developing local markets. It will also support diversification, innovation, the involvement of women and efforts to promote the sustainable management of the marine environment<ref>[https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/cms/farnet/flagsheet/flag-factsheet-belgium-west-flanders FLAG factsheet - Belgium - West Flanders]</ref>.<br />

The Flemish brown shrimp is a typical fisheries product in Belgium. In 2006 the '''Purus label''' was introduced by a cooperation of ship owners, the cooperative Flemish fisheries organization (Cooperative Vlaamse Visserij Vereniging CVBA) to promote the Flemish unpeeled brown shrimps. The brown shrimps are caught by Belgian fishermen, the fishermen fish no longer than 24 hours and the shrimps are cooked in old Flemish manner (in sea water with salt), there are no additives, preservatives added. This all results in high quality taste. The Purus label also promotes sustainable fishing techniques<ref>[http://www.dekustkijktverder.be/index.php?id=98 De Kust kijkt verder: Purus Garnaal]</ref>. <br />

In 2013 a minimum of 200 kilo life brown shrimps were landed each day.

Although fishery activity disappeared in Blankenberge, the history of fisheries is still part of the city. Each year during the Ascension weekend, the “[http://www.havenfeesten.be/ havenfeesten]”, “(harbor festivals)” are held. The feast originate from the harbor area and is grown into a touristic folkloric event. During the festivities, people wear traditional fisheries costumes dating from the 19th century. <br />
<br />
The festival starts with floral tributes in memory of the fishermen lost at sea at the statue of a first mate which is called “Sterken Dries” by local people. The statue was built in 1960 by Guillaume Charlier as a tribute to the fishermen of Blankenberge and is located at the entrance of the harbour. <br />
<br />
Another traditional event is the Sea benediction, [http://blankenberge.info/nl/evenement/417/zeewijding-zeezegening.html “Zeewijding”], in the beginning of July. The sea benediction used to introduce the bathing season, none of the residents would go into the sea before the sea benediction took place. The tradition still exists today. The open air mass held during the sea benediction includes a memorial of fishermen lost at sea, together with a request for protection for everyone who goes to the sea. <br />
Blankenberge has two '''museums''' related to fisheries. <br />
* The Maritime Museum "De Scute" is the museum from the non-profit organization [http://www.descute.be/ “De Scute”]. The organization was established in 1992 and aims to revalue the fishing heritage of Blankenberge. Since 2008 the organization has a small museum located above a hangar in which the organization is restoring a ship, the B1 Sint-Pieter. The collection includes photographs, paintings, objects of fisheries in Blankenberge and also information about the rebuilding of a fishing fleet of Blankenberge. <br />
* The Zeemuseum Vuurtoren Zeegenootschap is a nautical didactical information center located within the lighthouse at the port of Blankenberge. The collection in the hall includes all kind of relicts from the maritime history of Blankenberge. In the staircase pictures from old fishermen of Blankenberge are shown.<br />

The city also invest into '''touristic activities related to fisheries'''. As there is the shrimp fishing boat, the [http://www.descute.be/projecten/Jacqueline-Denise-nl.htm B72 Jaqueline-Denise], a wooden ketch that was built in Oostende in 1939. It is one of the typical shrimp fishing boats that were operational between the two world wars. In 1991 the ship came to Blankenberge and in 2005 restoration works started to make the ship operational for trips at sea. At the moment groups can make trips at sea with the B72 Jaqueline-Denise while learning about the history and restoration of the ship. Often the trips are combined with a visit to the Maritime Museum De Scute.<br />
<br />
In 1994 the “Blankenbergse Havenwandeling”, harbor walk in Blankenberge was introduced for the first time. A walk of 4.5 kilometers gives a historic exploration of the harbor area. <br />

Blankenberge is home to one of the 35 SEA LIFE centers. [http://www.visitsealife.com/blankenberge/en/ SEA LIFE] is located all over the world. SEA LIFE in Blankenberge has more than 50 '''aquariums''' that accommodates over 2500 sea creatures.<br />

On the 1st of October 1890 the “Vrije Visserijschool” (''Free '''Fisheries School''' '') opened its doors in the classrooms of the Sint-Pietersschool and Genootschap der Xaverianen in the Wetstraat in Blankenberge. Courses were organized during the day, evening and weekends for children but also for adults <ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/imis?module=ref&refid=225640 Beun, A.-S.; Lanszweert, W.; Leerman, F.; Steevens, I.

Carlier, the first director of the free fisheries school ran the school together with three teachers that gave theoretical courses, three teachers for practical courses and one doctor for first aid classes.<br />
<br />
Multiple factors caused the closure of the free fisheries school at the end of the school year in 1950-1951. Among other things, the end of fisheries in Blankenberge and consequently a lack of students interest in a future in fisheries caused the close of the school. Also the fact that fisheries evolved with new techniques in terms of materials and equipment did not help the situation either. The school was not equipped for these new materials and equipment which caused, together with other reasons, the end of the fisheries school in Blankenberge<ref>[http://www.vliz.be/en/catalogue?module=ref&refid=197957 Boterberge, R.

De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld.

Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af.

In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis.

En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

:''“my father was a fisherman, my granfather was a fisherman, my brother is a fisherman and my husband is a fisherman. When I was young I worked in a mussles fabric, now I work as a volunteer in the fishing museum, we go to events and we promote Arnemuiden. We like to spend our time this way. It started small but then we were asked to help more. We go into schools and teach children how to repair nets and how to peel shrimp”.''<br />
:In the picture, Tonny and her husband. Her active role in the promotion of traditional life in Arnemuiden makes her a greate example of women participation in cultural activities. This activity contributes to the definition of the fishing community of Arnemuiden, it provides a sense of belonging and helps to the maintenance of the new generations close to their roots.~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b9/Tourism.png;<br />

:''“I want to be a member of this community and I still love to live here and I want to see that people from outside see that it is a nice place to live, of course you have more economic activites here, but also lot people from this village know that they are living in a special place, because they are totally unaware. They know about maybe their grandfathers history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although know it is fashionable. People looked down on you then, we are fishermen, we had a bad name ‘fishheads’. Now the winds are changing. Now it is a nice place to live with a nice history, a nice environment and a good community.”'' [[Arnemuiden_women_jj|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b9/Tourism.png;<br />

I had an elder sister but she was not interested on it. I did the fish cleaning on board and sorting the fish. Also I sorted the crabs and cook (boil them). I steered the boat. The fishery school was really a man school, I didn’t want to go to that school because I was too shy and being the only girl to the whole school with only boys was very intimidating even if I could go with my brother.

:“Ik ben van Belzen, een echte Erremunaer. Hier geboren en getogen. Ik weet nog goed hoe ik hier als klein ventje stond te kijken naar de visleursters en visleurders. Via deze straat gingen ze met hun lege manden naar de vismijn op het stationsplein. Daar kochten ze vis en garnalen. Meestal ging ik even kijken bij de vismijn, want daar was altijd wat te beleven. De vissersvrouwen kochten vaak samen een partij en deelden die in porties. Ze hadden een goede manier om de vis eerlijk te verdelen. Een vrouw wees een portie vis aan en een andere vrouw die omgedraaid stond, noemde willekeurig een naam voor wie de vis was. Dit ging zo door tot alle vis was verdeeld. De garnalen moesten nog worden gepeld. Dat was veel werk waar het hele gezin een avond zoet mee was en de volwassenen soms wel tot diep in de nacht. Enkele visleurders en -leursters liepen met hun volle manden naar Middelburg, Veere of Vlissingen. [[Fragment_over_Visleuren|read more.]]<br />

:“Ik ben mevrouw de Nooijer. Zeg maar Grie. Ik sta hier naar de molen te kijken en dacht ineens terug aan 1977. Ik weet het nog als de dag van gisteren. Het was een sombere zomer met weinig zon. Het was nacht dus het moet al 24 juni zijn geweest. Ik hoorde een hoop herrie buiten en ik liep naar mijn slaapkamerraam, om te kijken wat er aan de hand was. Ik deed het raam open en mijn ogen begonnen meteen te tranen. Wat een stank! “De molen staat in brand,” hoorde ik mensen op straat roepen. Ik deed snel wat kleding aan en rende naar buiten. Er stond veel volk te kijken en de brandweerlieden deden wat ze konden, maar er was geen redden meer aan. De korenmolen Nooit Gedacht uit 1737 brandde volledig af. De volgende morgen ging het in het hele dorp nergens anders over. “Hoe was de brand ontstaan?” was een veel gehoorde vraag en de vrouwen zeiden: “Tis toch zonde, eej.” “We kunnen toch zeker nie zonder meulen?” [[Fragment_over_de_molen_die_in_1977_afbrandde|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/7/72/Audio.png;<br />

:"Ja ik ben een van de Ketterij. Dat heb je goed gezien. Iedereen die zo heet stamt af van Cornelis Jacobse die zijn naam veranderde in Van de Ketterij, een verwijzing naar de keterijen oftewel de zoutketenen. Maar daar was ik niet over aan het nadenken. Ik keek deze straat af en toen bedacht ik ineens: Wat is er in deze straat toch veel gebeurd. Alleen al op het stadhuis. Er is zoveel besproken en besloten voor het wel en wee van de burgers van Arnemuiden. De archieven zitten er vol van. In al die koopmanshuizen en herbergen die hier eens stonden - en waarvan nog slechts een kelder rest - daar moet toch ook heel wat beklonken zijn. De kleine arbeidershuisjes zijn later neergezet. Wat een zorgen en vreugden zijn er in deze straat beleefd. Als ik bedenk wie hier allemaal doorheen hebben gelopen: In de 16de eeuw kooplieden en zeemannen uit allerlei Europese landen, die in de herbergen aten en sliepen, later vissersvrouwen in klederdracht met zware manden met vis en kleine kinderen aan hun rokken. Er waren vrolijke optochten met Sinterklaas en Koninginnedag. En hier liepen de vele bruidsparen die gingen trouwen in het Stadhuis. Hier zijn tijdens het inkopen doen heel wat dorpsroddels uitgewisseld. En dat gebeurt nog dagelijks. [[Langstraat|read more.]] <br />

:“ Aangenaam: Ik ben Schroevers en ik kom uit Arnemuiden. Het eerste wat ik hoor als ik me voorstel aan mensen elders in het land is : Arnemuiden? Van dat liedje? ‘Als de klok van Arnemuiden het welkom thuis voor ons zal luiden’ Soms vragen mensen ook nog waar die klokken dan wel hangen. Nou hier dus in de kerktoren. Je kunt ze alleen niet zien. Elk uur hoor je hoe laat het is. Elk half uur hoor je 1 slag. Daarnaast luiden de klokken ook bij een begrafenis, huwelijk en op zondag een uur voor de kerkdiensten en 10 minuten voordat de dienst begint. Het zijn er twee en ze zijn al behoorlijk oud, uit de 16de eeuw. Ze zijn gegoten in Mechelen. Moet je nagaan wat die klokken ons konden vertellen over de geschiedenis van Arnemuiden als ze konden praten! Eerst hingen ze in de toren van de grote kruiskerk die hier ooit stond, daarna zijn ze verplaatst naar de nieuwe kerktoren. [[Markt:_Fragment_over_de_klokken_van_Arnemuiden|read more.]]<br />

:“Marijs is de naam en ik sta hier zomaar een beetje te mijmeren en te dromen. Het is toch raar dat ik nou eigenlijk sta te kijken naar wat eens een grote haven was. Oude havenstraat heet het hier. En in de 16de eeuw was het hier een drukte van belang. Ik heb eens gelezen over een Italiaanse koopman uit Antwerpen. Hij schreef in 1567 een boek over de Lage Landen en beschreef daarin ook Arnemuiden. Hij schreef “ Arnemuiden wordt in het Frans Ramue genoemd en is de laatste stad van de Walcheren. Ze is klein en heeft geen muren. Maar haar haven is zeer bekend in heel Europa omdat er dagelijks ontelbaar veel schepen van alle natiën aankomen en wegvaren naar alle windstreken. Vaak ziet men er hele vloten uit Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk en Engeland van dertig, veertig, vijftig of soms wel meer schepen. In deze haven zie je regelmatig vier- of vijfhonderd grote schepen die over de hele wereld varen. Ook worden hier veel nieuwe schepen gemaakt. Arnemuiden is wonderlijk goed gelegen.” Arnemuiden was toen nog maar een dorp moet je weten.

It started small but then we were asked to help more. We go into schools and teach children how to repair nets and how to peel shrimp”.''<br />
:The picture shows Tonny and her husband. Her active role in the promotion of traditional life in Arnemuiden makes her a great example of women participation in cultural activities.

:''“I want to be a member of this community and I still love to live here and I want to see that people from outside see that it is a nice place to live, of course you have more economic activities here, but also let people from this village know that they are living in a special place, because they are totally unaware. They know about maybe their grandfather’s history and that is it. When I was a girl, I was 12 years old and I went to school in Middelburg, I was a little ashamed to say I was from Arnemuiden, they wanted to know if I spoke Dutch in dialect which was unfashionable then although now it is fashionable. People looked down on you then, we are fishermen, we had a bad name ‘fish- heads’. Now the winds are changing. Now it is a nice place to live with a nice history, a nice environment and a good community”.'' [[Arnemuiden_women_jj|read more.]]~~http://www.coastalwiki.org/w/images/b/b9/Tourism.png;<br />

<br />
Belgium has a small coast of 65km long located in the province of West-Flanders. It is generally a flat region near the North Sea and it is known for its prosperity and wealth. Flanders has an area of 13.522 km2 and a population of around 6 million inhabitants. Life expectancy for men is around 76 years and for women 82 and over 43% of people aged between 30 and 34 years have a higher education qualification. The region is known for its high‐quality social protection system, this includes child care for families in need, affordable low rent-housing and a social housing scheme. The main activities in the cities are trade and commerce while in the countryside, due to the fertile soil, agricultural activities take place. However Flemish agriculture only represents 1.5% of the GDP and the coast is central to seafood industry. <br />
<br />
The Flemish are well known for being hard workers and in general terms people are satisfied with their job. Most of the population has a catholic affiliation, however the numbers of church attendants are diminishing. <br />
<br />
Considering the small size of the Belgian coast, towns were selected on the basis of accessibility, historical and contemporary relation to fishing activities, current catch and fishing heritage. As such the research took place in the towns of Ostend, Nieuwpoort, and Koksijde-Oostduinkerke. <br />

Fish used to be the major source of income for the inhabitants. Nowadays, the fishing heritage can be observed in the food markets along the main street and in the fish market where a few boats are still allowed to sell fresh fish directly to the buyer without going to the auction.

<br />
Belgium has a small coast of 65km long located in the Flanders region. It is generally a flat region near the North Sea and it is known for its prosperity and wealth which is made of the Dutch speaking population of Belgium with an area of 13.522 km2 and a population of around 6 million inhabitants. Life expectancy for men is around 76 years and for women 82 and over 43% of people aged between 30 and 34 years have a higher education qualification. The region is known for its high‐quality social protection system, this includes child care for families in need, affordable low rent-housing and a social housing scheme. The main activities in the cities are trade and commerce while in the countryside, due to the fertile soil, agricultural activities take place. However Flemish agriculture only represents 1.5% of the GDP and the coast is central to seafood industry. <br />
<br />
The Flemish are well known for being hard workers and in general terms people are satisfied with their job. Most of the population has a catholic affiliation, however the numbers of church attendants are diminishing. <br />
<br />
Considering the small size of the Belgian coast, towns were selected on the basis of accessibility, historical and contemporary relation to fishing activities, current catch and fishing heritage. As such the research took place in the towns of Ostend, Nieuwpoort, and Koksijde-Oostduinkerke. <br />
<br />
* '''Oostende''' originated as a fishing village in the 9th century. It is currently a city and municipality located in West-Flanders with a population of more than 70,000 inhabitants<ref>Population per municipality on 1 January 2013: http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/binaries/pop2010-2013mov_nl_tcm325-234223.xls Retrieved on 10th August 2014. </ref>. Fish used to be the major source of income for the inhabitants. Nowadays, the fishing heritage can be observed in the food markets along the main street and in the fish market where a few boats are still allowed to sell fresh fish directly to the buyer without going to the auction. These boats sail on a daily basis and the sale of fish is mainly done by family members, often women.<ref name="Flanders"> http://www.flanders.be/en Retrieved on 10th August 2014</ref> <br />
<br />
* '''Koksijde-Oostduinkerke''' is a municipality located in the province of West Flanders, with a population of around 9,000 inhabitants<ref>Population per municipality on 1 January 2013: http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/binaries/pop2010-2013mov_nl_tcm325-234223.xls Retrieved 11th August 2014. </ref>. Oostduinkerke is the only site in Europe where horseback shrimping is practised: a 500 years old method of catching shrimp on horseback, it has been recognised by [http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/RL/00673 UNESCO] as an activity that represents an intangible cultural heritage. Nowadays it is more of a tourist attraction and women take part in the cooking of the shrimps. It is a clear example of fishery folklore developed by 12 households. The fishing heritage and history of the region is also reflected in the Oostduinkerke fishing museum where many women contribute to the promotion of the fishery tradition <ref name="Flanders"/>.

For more information about Nieuwpoort read following [http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/GIFS_activity_1.2:_Case_study_Nieuwpoort_(Belgium)_fisheries_embedded_in_local_tourism_policy article]. The research found no group or association of women around the subject of fishing, however, women’s participation in the activity was evident. <br />

<br />
Belgium has a small coast of 65km long located in the Flanders region. It is generally a flat region near the North Sea and it is known for its prosperity and wealth which is made of the Dutch speaking population of Belgium with an area of 13.522 km2 and a population of around 6 million inhabitants. Life expectancy for men is around 76 years and for women 82 and over 43% of people aged between 30 and 34 years have a higher education qualification. The region is known for its high‐quality social protection system, this includes child care for families in need, affordable low rent-housing and a social housing scheme. The main activities in the cities are trade and commerce while in the countryside, due to the fertile soil, agricultural activities take place. However Flemish agriculture only represents 1.5% of the GDP and the coast is central to seafood industry. <br />
<br />
The Flemish are well known for being hard workers and in general terms people are satisfied with their job. Most of the population has a catholic affiliation, however the numbers of church attendants are diminishing. <br />
<br />
Considering the small size of the Belgian coast, towns were selected on the basis of accessibility, historical and contemporary relation to fishing activities, current catch and fishing heritage. As such the research took place in the towns of Ostend, Nieuwpoort, and Koksijde-Oostduinkerke. <br />
<br />
Oostende originated as a fishing village in the 9th century. It is currently a city and municipality located in West-Flanders with a population of more than 70,000 inhabitants<ref>Population per municipality on 1 January 2013: http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/binaries/pop2010-2013mov_nl_tcm325-234223.xls Retrieved on 10th August 2014. </ref>. Fish used to be the major source of income for the inhabitants. Nowadays, the fishing heritage can be observed in the food markets along the main street and in the fish market where a few boats are still allowed to sell fresh fish directly to the buyer without going to the auction. These boats sail on a daily basis and the sale of fish is mainly done by family members, often women.<ref> http://www.flanders.be/en Retrieved on 10th August 2014</ref> <br />

Selsey is a seaside town in West Sussex, England. Selsey lies at the southernmost point of the Manhood Peninsula, almost cut off from mainland Sussex by the sea. It is bounded to the west by Bracklesham Bay, to the north by Broad Rife (rife being the local word for stream or creek), to the east by Pagham Harbour and terminates in the south at Selsey Bill. There are significant rock formations beneath the sea off both of its coasts, named the Owers rocks and Mixon rocks. In addition, Selsey’s harbour and surrounding land is of national importance for both flora and fauna.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selsey</ref><br />

Santec and its 17 km coastline including 14 km of beaches presents a panorama where granitic rocks and beaches of fine white sand alternate. Many hidden coves offer shelter to many pleasure boats but also for lovers of relaxation and tanning. At the forefront of "Corn ar Loa" one can embrace the view: Beach Thevenn (where on the island Roc'h-Krum tombs dating from the Bronze Age were discovered), the Isle of Wight and its characteristic lighthouse, the channel and its many islands and the point of Perharidy and part of Roscoff.<ref>http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santec</ref><br />

Salcombe is a town in Devon, England. The town is close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, built mostly on the steep west side of the estuary and lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town's extensive waterfront and the naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary gave rise to its success as a boat, shipbuilding and sailing port. Nowadays, tourism plays a major role in Salcombe’s economy especially in the form of pleasure sailing and yachting. There is also a sizeable crabbing industry too.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salcombe</ref><br />
