More and more fishermen are joining a plan which uses fishing boats to help clear rubbish from the seas. The “Fishing for Litter” encourages fishermen to take back rubbish they catch while fishing.
Boats are provided with bags so that any waste they collect can be easily stored. The first boats to join the plan are the Leven Mor and the Kelly Emm. Mr. Scoullar,a government officer,said he hoped the Leven Mor and the Kelly Emm would be the first of many boats to take part in the plan. He said,“This plan has been very successful so far in other parts of Europe. ”
Recent studies have found that about twenty thousand tons of rubbish,mainly plastics,(1)is thrown into the North Sea alone every year. Of that,70%lies on the sea bed,15%floats on the surface and 15%is washed up on beaches.
Mr. Scoullar added,“(2)The studies show that sea life has been greatly affected by the increase in waste. Thousands of birds and fish are suffering every year in Europe's water as a result of this problem. Also the rubbish can cost the fishing industry tens of thousands of pounds per boat every year. ”
