Waste reception points in fishing harbours
A Union of Fisheries Cooperatives · Portugal · Europe · Presented on 4 September 2026
About the project
Weighing stations, collection bags and monthly reporting infrastructure in 12 harbours.
Climate mitigation and adaptation benefits
Landing and recycling gear waste instead of burning or dumping it avoids the emissions of replacing it with new plastic rope and netting.
Ecosystem restoration potential
Cuts the amount of gear abandoned at sea, which is the single largest source of entanglement on these grounds.
The platform does not broker finance and does not match projects to funders automatically. Published projects are visible to everyone; the secretariat forwards messages about them to the organisation.
