DeFishGear Actions for the Clean Adriatic Sea

The main objective of these actions performed under the umbrella of the DeFishGear project is to reduce marine litter pollution in the Adriatic waters by involving fishermen and other stakeholders. This objective will be achieved by setting out a system for collection and recycling of derelict fishing gear. In addition, collection of floating litter and litter from the sea bottom, including the so called "ghost nets", will be conducted in collaboration with fishermen. The initiative not only involves the direct removal of litter from the sea, but also raises awareness of the significance of the problem within the fishing sector and among citizens and policy-makers, thus contributing to change practices and culture. Indeed, the direct involvement of fishermen in activities of prevention and protection of the environment is able to change the system of relations between them and the marine environment.
