Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

Baltic

Relevant stage:

Removal and recycling

Related Barriers:

  • Procedures for dismantling are not economically efficient today and should be further optimized. Manual dismantling processes only exist in some Baltic Sea countries and transport across countries is expensive.

  • Weak transport opportunities of gear between ports and recycling facilities.

  • There is a lack of waste management infrastructure with, e.g. insufficient opportunities to collect, sort and reuse waste in ports or other defined collection sites.

  • Very little or no information exchange and dialogue about innovative solutions of waste management (i.e. common sourcing/funding/monitoring/best practice replication) and new materials with higher recyclability.
