Fishing port and marina
No fish market but fish preparation area 7 fixed vessels (small-scale coastal fishing)
• 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…)
• 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
• 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
• Questions about responsibility for waste produced by fishermen
• Fishermen lack awareness of this issue and are already faced with numerous regulations
• Communal port with little budget allocated to waste management
• Member of the Iroise Marine Park’s partner port charter
• Port in the Association of Brittany Marinas
• Clean-up campaigns
• Objectives:
Obtain the Clean Harbours Label: work to fence off the careening area and to have a closed waste disposal area
