Mission statement:	The Lonxanet Foundation for Sustainable Fishing was set up in 2002 with the dream of creating a fairer society. Through joint work with fishermen communities, the Lonxanet Foundation promotes knowledge of the sea, its products and traditional fishermen. To this end, it implements innovative proposals in the social, environmental, economic and community involvement fields, to enable the transformation of the traditional fisherman into an entrepreneur and active citizen. Lonxanet Foundation's vision is a world where traditional fishermen and women are valued by society as a whole because they feel pride in their profession and culture, and participate with honor and dignity in building a more sustainable world. The Lonxanet Foundation’s mission is to contribute to the empowerment of traditional fishing communities by establishing links with the fishing sector, thereby bringing about a common approach to proposals, projects and actions based on criteria of sustainability and community involvement. The purpose is to solve or minimize problems and advance the process of positioning traditional fishermen as guardians (managers or joint managers) of the ecosystems in which they perform their productive activities.
