The objective of the project " Fisheries for a Sea Without Litter" is to make Portuguese fishermen aware of the importance of collecting and separating marine litter during the fishing activity, creating in the ports the necessary infrastructures for its reception and forwarding to industry. This initiative began in the fishing port of Peniche with a pilot project that aimed to: (1) Improve the management of waste at the level of fishing ports and on the vessels; and (2) To raise awareness and stimulate the fishing industry to adopt good environmental practices that contribute to the reduction of marine litter.
