Fishermen bring the litter they collect while fishing back to the port. One staff member then collects it and places it in the appropriate skip for processing.
No data and no quantification or characterisation of this waste stream. It’s the fishermen’s responsibility to weigh it and report the data.
• No recycling channels sufficiently developed, particularly for used pots and trawls.
• A large number of tyres are collected, representing a very expensive stream for processing (€500/T).
• Sorting & dismantling of EOLFGs carried out by one employee hired by the CCI at a dedicated treatment site with an elevated platform.
• Handling of potential net mending waste by an agent who operates a blower.
• Voluntary approach to EOLFG management.
• Cleaning of the port basin once a year by a professional diver.
• Objectives:
o Provide a recycling channel for used trawls and pots.
o Reduce the number of illegal waste dumping with the introduction of fines by the harbour master’s office.
