11/11/2026
On 5 November 2026, the FishNoWaste project held its Final Conference at Agorà Blue (Hall 7) during Ecomondo in Rimini, Italy, bringing together project partners and stakeholders to present the main achievements and results of the project.
The conference marked an important milestone in the project, which has focused on improving waste collection and management in fishing ports across the Adriatic region, contributing to the prevention of marine litter and the protection of marine ecosystems.
During the event, partners presented the project's main results and activities, highlighting three key areas of intervention:
- Pilot waste collection activities: Implementation of pilot actions in selected fishing ports in Italy and Croatia to improve the collection and management of waste generated by fishing activities.
- Stakeholder engagement and cooperation: Strengthening collaboration with fishers, fisheries cooperatives and port authorities to encourage more responsible waste management practices and support joint efforts to reduce marine litter.
- Education and awareness-raising: Engagement with schools and universities through educational activities aimed at increasing environmental awareness and promoting the importance of protecting marine ecosystems.
The Final Conference provided an opportunity to share the knowledge and experience gained throughout the project, present the outcomes of the pilot activities and reflect on the importance of continued cooperation between Italian and Croatian stakeholders in addressing marine litter.
FishNoWaste would like to thank everyone who participated in the conference, as well as all project partners and stakeholders whose commitment and cooperation contributed to the successful implementation of the project.
Although the project is reaching its conclusion, the commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable Adriatic Sea continues. The results and experience gained through FishNoWaste provide a valuable basis for further cooperation and continued efforts to improve waste management in fishing ports and protect the marine environment.
