Polscy rybacy liderami w walce z sieciami-widmami
147 ton śmieci wyłowionych z Bałtyku:
Polska jako europejski lider w tematyce sieci widm
Warszawa, 16 stycznia 2018

Narzędzia połowowe zagubione na morzu oraz ich wpływ na środowisko morskie to przedmiot wielu badań i działań w kontekście globalnym. Jeden z najlepszych projektów w tym zakresie, „Czysty Bałtyk”, jest właśnie finalizowany w wodach przybrzeżnych Polski, łącznie z Zalewami, z zaangażowaniem ponad 500 rybaków małoskalowych.
Trzy organizacje członkowskie LIFE z Polski włączyły się w ten projekt o dużej skali, sfinansowany dzięki środkom Europejskiego Funduszu Morskiego i Rybackiego, dostępnych Polsce w ramach „Programu Operacyjnego Rybactwo i Morze 2014-2020”. Jesteśmy zadowoleni z fakt, że subsydia UE zostały wykorzystane na jednoznacznie pozytywny cel – poprawę stanu środowiska morskiego, w który operują polscy rybacy małoskalowi, co jest korzystne także dla innych użytkowników mórz.
Rybacy wyłowili łącznie nieco poniżej 147 ton odpadów. Przeważającym rodzajem wyławianych narzędzi połowowych były sieci stawne. Z morza wyławiano także sieci trałowe, żaki, takle i pułapki. W wyłowionych narzędziach połowowych, poza rybami znajdowano także inne organizmy morskie, w tym ptaki oraz omułki. W jednej z pułapek znaleziono uwięzioną, martwą fokę szarą. Poza narzędziami połowowymi rybacy wyławiali z morza także inne odpady, w tym bojki, styropiany, skrzynie, liny, opony, resztki stalowych elementów oraz inne drobne odpady typu rękawice, worki na śmieci.
W LIFE jesteśmy dumni, mogąc być częścią tego projektu i pragniemy podziękować wszystkim w niego zaangażowanym – rybakom i ich organizacjom, fundacji MARE (http://fundacjamare.pl) oraz administracji. Ale szczególnie ważne dla nas jest mocne zaangażowanie rybaków w działania projektu oraz ich poczucie współodpowiedzialności za stan środowiska morskiego, od którego zależy przyszłość zawodu rybaka.

Polish fishers lead the way on ghost nets
147 tons of marine litter fished from the Baltic:
Polish small-scale fishers show leadership in dealing with ghost nets
Warsaw, 16th of January 2018

Fishing gears lost at sea and their impact on the marine environment are subject to numerous research and actions globally. One of the most successful projects in this respect , “Clean Baltic”, is being finalized along Poland’s coastal waters including the Lagoons, with the involvement of over 500 small-scale fishers.
3 LIFE Polish Member Organizations got involved in this large-scale project. The latter was developed thanks to the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund monies made available to Poland as part of the “Fisheries and the Sea 2014-2020” Operational Programme. We are glad to see that EU subsidies have been used for a universally positive purpose – improve the state of the marine environment where Polish small-scale fishers operate, while also benefitting other sea users.
The fishers retrieved a total of just under 147 tons of waste. Most retrieved fishing gears were gillnets, but trawls, trap nets, lines and pots were also fished out. The retrieved nets contained fish and other marine organisms, such as birds and mussels and even one dead grey seal. The project was not confined to fishing gears only and fishers took out many other objects, such as buoys, Styrofoam, boxes, lines, tires, remains of steel elements, as well as smaller waste such as gloves and plastic bags.
LIFE is proud to be part of the project, and we take the opportunity to thank all those involved – the fishers and their organizations, the MARE foundation (http://fundacjamare.pl) and administration bodies. But most importantly, we are pleased to witness the strong involvement of the fishers in the project activities, and their feeling of co-responsibility for the state of marine environment, including fish stocks, on which their livelihoods depend.
