Title (original)
Background Report on Fishing-for-litter Activities in the OSPAR Region 2006
Description
This report proposes, on the basis of some experiences from the Fishing for litter activities implemented, a number of issues that need to be considered when discussing an expansion or initiation of Fishing-for-litter initiatives in additional countries or harbours in the OSPAR region. Such issues include, e.g., what is required from the participating countries and local communities, existing legislation on reception facilities, the need for a long-term commitment, coordination responsibilities, equipment on board vessels, options for delivery and reception ashore, and capacity and schemes for waste handling/management/disposal in local communities.
