REVFIN
Prevention, reduction and recycling of fishnet pollution in Vietnamese coastal waters
Nets in transition
REVFIN focuses on the intersection of fishing and environmental protection. The project develops concrete solutions for lost and abandoned fishing nets (ALDFGs) in Vietnamese coastal waters – from prevention and repair to recycling. Together with local partners, strategies are being developed to keep nets in circulation and protect marine ecosystems in the long term.
Life of a Net: Docu-Series
From the first knot in production to recycling as a new resource: The series follows a fishing net through its entire life cycle – use, damage, repair, loss and recycling. ‘Life of a Net’ shows how potential marine waste can become a building block of a sustainable circular economy.
Project & Tasks
At the REVFIN Project, we aim to establish a circular system for fishing nets in Vietnam. 🌊♻️ We collect and analyze data on discarded nets to design effective recycling solutions and inform policy development.
By engaging the fishery and plastics industries, we ensure nets are no longer lost at sea but reused as valuable resources. 🚀 Demonstration centers will showcase how old nets can be transformed into new products, setting a benchmark for circular economy practices.
Through campaigns, workshops, and close collaboration with policymakers, we raise awareness, strengthen regulations, and promote sustainable practices. At the same time, we train students and professionals in modern recycling technologies, creating a new generation of environmental experts for Vietnam. 🌍✨
