Blue Circular Nets (CIRCNETS)

Fishing is a significant source of plastic pollution of seas. Blue Circular Nets (CIRCNETS) supports collection, treatment, and recycling of fishing gear. Our aim is that these end-of-life (EOL) nets are disposed appropriately and they will not end up in seas degrading the marine environment.

Team CIRCNETS to the rescue – tackling marine plastic pollution by taking care of EOL fishing gear

What shall we do with fishing gear that is not good for fishing anymore? Well, we have to dispose of them as we do with any trash, so that they do not end up in the nature. CIRCNETS maps out how fishing gear can be collected, treated and recycled in the NPA region.
