Management of used fishing gear

Equipment

• No facilities for collecting fishing nets in the port
• Skips for the careening area and for waste flows (wood, bulky items, waste sent for incineration, scrap metal…)

Management

• No recycling channels for the moment
• Collaboration with Fil&Fab to collect fishermen’s nets in 2020
o Installation of Big Bags financed by the Iroise Marine Park in the port, two lorries sent to Fil&Fab with around 15 Big Bags (between 2020 and 2023)
o Installation of posters presenting the reuse cycle for nets
• BUT it was not sustained because the transport was not handled by Fil&Fab, and the port lacked the resources and the time to manage it

Reuse

• Fishermen take their used fishing gear to the town’s waste collection centre. They put them in the bulky waste skip for landfill.
• The port manager is responsible for waste management.
Management costs: not applicable
Quantity: ≈ 15 Big Bags between 2020 and 2023
