Study on Circular Design of the Fishing Gear for Reduction of Environmental Impacts

Within this project we have collated and assessed the range of challenges and solutions in the circular design of fishing gear, while also developing and validating the Technical, Circularity and Environmental Recommendations needed to support the development of guidance standards for the circular design of fishing gear. The guidance standards will provide European organizations with an opportunity to establish, implement and maintain circular design of fishing gear as an integral part of design and development of fishing gear, by integrating corresponding recommendations into their related organizational procedures and instructions.
