In the fishing town of Chioggia, Italy, on May 9 and 10, the Kick-off conference for the FishNoWaste project was held. The project’s objective is to develop a synergistic strategy for the comprehensive collection of waste generated by fishing activities, which is produced in trawl fisheries and disposed of in fishing ports. The conference brought together project partners, representatives of local authorities, universities, fishing associations and environmental experts from Italy and Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FishNoWaste Project Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FishNoWaste project aims to improve protocols for reducing, collecting and managing waste in fishing ports of the northern Adriatic, with a particular focus on plastic. The project will connect research institutions, fishing associations, fish markets, port authorities, municipalities and NGO-s from Italy and Croatia. They will jointly develop and implement best practices and innovative techniques for waste management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunce will focus on education and raising awareness about the principles of waste reduction, reuse and recycling, as well as marine waste. Sunce will use their communication skills and contacts to implement educational programs and awareness campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FishNoWaste will actively collaborate with other relevant projects that address similar topics to promote synergy and the exchange of knowledge and experiences. Through joint efforts, innovation and cooperation, the project will contribute to the preservation of the marine environment and the promotion of sustainable fishing, which is vital for the future of the Adriatic Sea and its coastal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
