Fishers are of great support in the fight against #marinelitter.
With help from #EMFF 🇪🇺, @BordIascMhara 🇮🇪 implemented #FishingForLitter, a collective action helping retrieve marine litter ashore. Since 2015 fishers collected 330 tons of waste at sea!

Our oceans & seas are essential for our life on earth but are under growing threat from plastic waste.

Since 2015 🇮🇪fishermen have been taking ashore the litter they encounter at sea under the #FishingforLitter scheme led by @BordIascMhara & funded by #EMFF🇪🇺.
