Un Lyeu, une rencontre : La pêche à l’ile d’Yeu, au présent et… à l’avenir ?

Fishing on the Ile d'Yeu, now and in the future?

Deputy Managing Director of OP Vendée and local manager of the Pays de la Loire Fisheries Committee

Sébastien Chauvet, a native of the Isle of Yeu, has been working for fishermen for 36 years.
Since 1989, the fishing fleet on the Ile d'Yeu has been divided by five.
Hit by the ban on driftnet fishing for tuna, porbeagle shark and bluefin tuna, there are now just three offshore fishing boats and twelve small inshore fishing boats dedicated to the noble species.

What does the future hold for small-scale fishing in the face of industrial fishing and global warming?

This year, Un Lyeu une Rencontre is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Once again, the Citadelle meadow will be the place to be. The joy of learning, the joy of thinking, the joy of laughing, the joy of sharing with our speakers.

On the programme, our exclusive recipe of an eclectic range of subjects of general or islais interest, dealt with by experts or written by authors. Topics that speak as much to our intelligence as to our hearts.

Welcome to this exceptional setting, in the shade of centuries-old holm oaks, made available to us by the Conseil départemental with logistical support from the Mairie.
