THE SCHEME which encourages fishermen to collect marine litter caught in their nets and dispose of it onshore is continuing to gain in popularity as more vessels sign up. More than 3,200 tonnes of rubbish has been collected by Scottish boats through KIMO International’s.
A GROUP of 12 divers is set to head to Shetland later this year to recover any lost or discarded fishing gear - such as nets - in a bid to clean up the seas around the isles. The work will be undertaken through the conversation charity Ghost Fishing UK. The charity will visit.
