- Global Ghost Gear Initiative and Ocean Conservancy (EN) | GGGI is the world’s largest cross-sectoral alliance committed to driving solutions to the problem of lost, abandoned and otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) worldwide. Mare Nostrum NGO is an active member since 2019, being the first organisation from the Black Sea area, part of this initiative. In the same period, first initiatives to mitigate the effects of ghost gear locally were implemented. The work at regional level is linked closely with work on fishing gear management carried out at global level by Global Ghost Gear Initiative.
- All the identified ALDFG hotspots will be reported using GhostGear Reporter, developed by GGGI, joining organisations based all over the world combating this hard-to-see, but incredibly destructive problem that Black Sea is facing. Moreover, they will support our actions and will disseminate the outputs. Also, the consortium will participate at the events organised under the GGGI umbrella.
- (EN), Net Free Black Sea (2022)
- Net Free Black Sea 2.0 (2023-under implementation), funded by Small Grants Program: Global Ghost Gear Initiative
- (EN) | These are 2 projects implemented by Mare Nostrum NGO. The aims were awareness and education creation, ALDFG removal pilot actions, creating a local database and network for the welfare of the Black Sea and promoting the best practices in managing ALDGF. All these actions were implemented at local level, in Romania only, and the proposal will take these actions and results to regional level. (EN), Black Sea Marine Litter Regional Action Plan (EN) | In 2018, BS ML RAP was adopted and the rationale of this is to improve the quality of the marine and coastal environment in the Black Sea. The proposal will implement measures on prevention “reduced ghost catches through the use of environmental neutral upon degradation of nets, pots and traps concept”, in consultation with the competent international and regional organisations in the fishing sector. Also, there will be capacity building actions on ghost fishing and “fishing for litter”, especially derelict fishing gears. Another important measure will be to identify, in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, accumulation hotspots of ALDFG and implementation of national actions for their regular removal and sound disposal.
