The Organización de Palangreros Guardeses (Organisation of longliners of La Guardia—OPP-49) was established in A Guarda (Pontevedra), on March 15th, 1996, in order to regulate, develop and promote the fishing activity of longline vessels, both fresh and freezers, and to defend the interests of the members of this organisation, being able to adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the rational exercise of the fishing and improve the sale conditions of its members’ production. OR.PA.GU. has ships present in all oceans and seas, with fishing units in the Pacific, Indian, North Atlantic and South Atlantic oceans, having been recognised in 2016 with the transnational scope by combining Spanish and Portuguese fleet.
The Organización de Productores del Puerto de Celeiro(Organisation of Fisheries Producers of Celeiro -OPP77). Since its foundation in 1994, its trajectory has been characterized by its commitment to sustainability and competitiveness of its members in all its aspects, reaching its peak in 2014 with its recognition as a Producer Organization. Today, they form a business group with an aggregate turnover of around € 100 million, providing their fleets with all the services that allow them to lead fishing production in the Mariña lucense. Its star product, the hake which is caught one by one with hook. The award “Alimentos de España 2017” is yet another milestone that has recognized its trajectory and commitment to the future. They are proud to provide all their production of hake from longlines certified by ‘Friend of the Sea’ and they are decidedly betting on transparency after having incorporated the technology ‘blockchain’ with Carrefour to the landings in port.
