Title (original)
Marine litter from the fishing sector: How is the fisheries sector using EU Funds to fight Marine litter?
Description
Marine litter is generating increasing concern at international, regional, macro-regional and national levels. The European Union is playing its part in addressing the problem in particular by providing public support to mitigation actions undertaken by the fishing industry through the former European Fisheries Fund 2007 – 2013 (EFF) and the current European Maritime and Fisheries Fund 2014 – 2020 (EMFF). The present report analyses the contributions of these funds to operations of marine litter mitigation undertaken by the fisheries sector itself or for its direct benefit, based on a sample of 14 EU Members States (MS) planning concrete actions under the EMFF: BE, BG, CY, DE, ES, FI, HR, IE, IT, PL, PT, RO, SE and UK.
