• 1 Big Bag for the recovery of used fishing net at the back of the ship repair area.
• Containers for the recovery of trawls and traps recently installed.
Management
• FIRENOR project (2021-2023): collection and dismantling of trawls, nets, ropes and pots in order to draw up an analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of a waste recycling chain.
• Experiment conducted by Fil&Fab and WWF: trawl nets recycling (shredding tests in 2024).
• Recycling of nets: Fil&Fab recovers used nets from the port for material recovery.
Reuse
• Waste streams placed in CIW are not sorted
• EOLFG are placed in Big Bags and sent to Fil&Fab by VEOLIA
• One staff member in charge of waste management
• • FIRENOR project (2021-2023): collection and dismantling of trawls, nets, ropes and pots in order to draw up an analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of a waste recycling chain.

Passive fishing for litter
Current pratices
Fishermen bring the litter they collect while fishing back to the port and place it in the CIW skip.
Port issues
No characterisation or monitoring in terms of volume of this type of waste.
Constraints and bests practices
Constraints
• No dedicated or closed waste area at the moment.
• Difficult access, requiring crossing the technical and ship repair area to get to the waste reception facilities.
• Lack of indicators for monitoring EOLFG collection.
• City centre port: urban – port coactivity.
• Limited space for trawl net repairing leading to falls on the port docks, but construction work is in progress.
Bests practices et objectives
• Recycling of used nets collected by Fil&Fab
• Penalties for illegal waste dumping (port police and Ports du Calvados)
• Objectives:
o Carry out construction work to create a closed and dedicated area for the reception of waste, accessible only by port users and easily accessible for waste collection lorries.
o Sorting at source by operators should be implemented once the reception area renovation work is completed, to ensure better waste characterisation and reuse.
o Establish a local EMFAF project to provide collection points for EOLFG from six ports of the area to massify the waste and find suitable reuse channels.
o Port clean-up campaign.
