Oregon fishermen pull debris from ocean, recycle it to generate electricity
Posted by Virginia Mersereau | 8/13/2019
The Fishing for Energy partnership addresses the ever growing problem of debris from lost, abandoned or discarded fishing gear by “providing commercial fishermen with no-cost opportunities to dispose of derelict and retired fishing gear.” Every year, not only do marine species become trapped and entangled in this waste, but the lost gear can accumulate over time creating islands of metal and rope. These masses affect vessels and active fishing gear, which negatively impacts the maritime industry.
