For more than 25 years, the Maritime Cooperative "La Graulenne" has been at the service of Mediterranean fishermen.
​
The Cooperative provides packaging, a refrigerated storage area, and crushed ice 24 hours a day.
​
Thus, fishermen who wish to do so can deliver and store their products outside the opening hours of the cooperative.
​
We are active members of the Producer Organization "OP du sud".
The South PO
The OP du SUD is a producer organization, recognized at the European level. It is a structure bringing together a group of fishermen to organize their economic activity (Regulation EU No 1379/2013). It is led by a board of Directors, composed of 12 members from the 3 cooperatives which are on the initiative of the creation of the OP du Sud, including Cooperative Maritime “La Graulenne”. This council meets several times a year to decide the orientations and positions of the structure: measures of collective management of fishing activities, actions of the OP du Sud, etc.
The OP du Sud takes part in the professional sea fishing sector. Based in Occitania, the OP du Sud has about 140 members, spread over the entire French Mediterranean coast, from Port-Vendres to Marseille, as well as in Corsica and belonging to the trawlers and small-scale fishers. A large part of the cooperators of the Graulenne adheres to the OP du sud.
The missions of the South PO are as follows:
​
- Management of fishing rights;
- Representation of professional fishermen;
- Support of its members
- Proposals for the transition to a sustainable fishing
- Promotion of fisheries trades and products
