The aims to reduce and prevent marine litter derived from fisheries by: i) reducing lost fishing gears by using new technologies able to track them, which will help fishermen to localize and recover their lost gears; and ii) promoting best-practices on board for the management of fishing garbage waste, through activities organized by fishermen associations for fishermen, contributing to raise awareness about the need to keep all garbage aboard.
