On March 29, 2019, the governing bodies of EFSA Portugal were elected for the four-year period 2019-2023.

The winning list aims to boost the achievement of the goals and objectives set out in the Statutes of EFSA Portugal, with the driving force behind the defense of oceans and marine species in favor of a Clean Sea. It is also the Directorate’s objective to encourage fishermen to participate in responsible fishing, awareness of the need to care for the marine environment and its species, as well as to promote the release of species that do not have minimum sizes established by the Portuguese Law.
