As a result of the Clean Oceans Initiative, over 600 tonnes of plastic waste has been collected at sea and during shore and pier clean-ups.
The Initiative aims to help Ireland’s fisheries harbours with their waste management systems in collaboration with local gear manufacturers to manage fishing gear throughout its life cycle.
