Started the activity on field of MoRinet project

Field activities have begun in the Gulf of Asinara and in the Marine Protected Area of ​​Capo Carbonara (Villasimius) of the Mo.Ri.net project(Monitoring, census, removal and recycling of ghost nets: fishermen as key players in the safeguard of the sea.
Through campaigns on board fishing boats and scuba diving, ISPRA, together with the University of Siena and the Carabinieri Underwater Unit of Cagliari, give life to the phase of the project which involves the characterization of the two areas subject to protection, describing the populations present. At the same time, the number and type of marine litter will be determined to remove, if possible, the fishermen and the underwater carabinieri. The collected waste, which has suitable characteristics, will be sent to the recycling process to start a new life thanks to the Polieco Consortium, while the non-recyclable ones will be sent for proper disposal.
