Hake Trawl Fishery Backs Fishing Net Recycling Project

A groundbreaking pilot project at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront will transform how fishing nets are recycled in South Africa – and potentially around the world. The project, led by OCEAN Action Network and Ocean Plastic Technologies (OPT) and supported by the South African Deep-Sea Trawling Industry Association (SADSTIA), will introduce the country’s first harbour-based net recycling facility at Collier Jetty where the V&A Waterfront has generously donated space for the project.
