WORKING WITH FISHERMEN TO CLEAN OUR SEAS

Result? Cleaner seas, cleaner beaches and a healthier marine environment.

The Fishing for Litter project runs in many countries across Europe:

From its humble beginnings at a single port in the Netherlands, Fishing for Litter has spread across Europe. OSPAR endorses Fishing for Litter and encourages its 15 member countries to adopt Fishing for Litter programmes as part of its Regional Action Plan against marine litter. The EU’s revised Port Reception Facilities Directive will make specific provision for Fishing for Litter waste in order to encourage more vessels and more harbours to take part. All of which is good news for our seas! To learn more about the individual projects, follow the links below:
