Prevention, reduction and recycling of fishnets polluting Vietnamese coastal waters
Project & Tasks
Reduce pollution: Our goal is to reduce the pollution of Vietnam’s coastal waters caused by fishing nets. By collecting and recycling the nets, we prevent them from harming the marine environment.
Promote sustainable fishing: By creating awareness of environmentally sound disposal methods for fishing nets, we contribute to the development of a sustainable fishing industry. We are committed to conserving resources and preserving marine ecosystems.
Sensitising society: We want to make local society aware of the relevance of environmentally friendly disposal of fishing nets. Through education and information events, we aim to raise awareness of the effects of improper disposal and promote changes in behaviour.
Creating jobs and economic opportunities: Our project offers the possibility of creating new jobs and harbours further economic opportunities. By recycling fishing nets, new products are manufactured, which contributes to local economic development.
