Fishermen earn global plaudits for commitment to cleaning oceans

VISITORS to the Bloom 2019 garden festival in Phoenix Park next week can expect sustainability to be one of the key themes.

Having won the overall prize for its Sustainable Seafood Garden at Bloom 2018, Bord Iascaigh Mhara’s presence this year will be built around its ‘Clean Oceans Initiative’, the key element of which has been to get 100% of Irish trawlers to recover plastic from the oceans on every fishing trip.
