Other financial info
Sciaena is a Portuguese-based non profit organization with national and international scope, which was created in 2006 by University of Algarve Marine Biology and Fisheries students. It aims to design, implement and support programs and projects of environmental, social, civic, economic and cultural nature, in order to promote cooperation and integrated human development in coastal areas and the conservation of marine ecosystems. It has been developing its work in partnership with various social actors - other NGOs, local authorities, educational and research institutions, among others, always inviting the public and interested stakeholders to take part in its activities. Mostly dependent on voluntaries in the early years and even now, since 2013 Sciaena has registered a stable level of revenues and personnel dedicated to the NGO. Since April 2013 and through a consultancy with The Pew Environment Group on Fisheries Policy and Research, Sciaena has worked on the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform and is now accompanying its implementation, as well as deep sea and tuna fisheries legislation. Since April 2016 Sciaena is a grantee of Funding Fish, with a project that aims at implementing the CFP and improving the environmental performance of fisheries in Portugal and the South Western Waters of the European Union.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
