Seafood sector shares ideas on reducing marine waste

The seafood development agency, Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), which has collected more than 600 tonnes of old or damaged fishing nets for recycling, exchanged ideas with the sector for reducing the impact of marine waste on the environment at a recent workshop in Cork.

Harbour masters, net producers, representatives of recycling companies, and Government officials discussed the creation of a circular economy for fishing gear.
