1 Reducing the impact of marine litter in the form of derelict fishing gear in the Baltic Sea

2 Operations at Sea DFG search strategies 1. Sonar data of German Hydrographic Survey provided by BSH/Uni Kiel 2. Fisheries control authority 3. Clearing area Ahlbeck 4. Estonian Hook Navama, WWF

3 1. Sidescan sonar Location: Odrabank Sonar data of German Hydrographic Survey provided by BSH/Uni Kiel Navama, WWF

4 1. Sidescan sonar Location: Odrabank 1000 khz 400 khz BSH/Uni Kiel

5 1. Sidescan sonar Location: Odrabank Driving pattern of fishing vessel Marked sonar position Centered on structure 1000 khz 400 khz BSH/Uni Kiel

6 1. Sidescan sonar - Tests Location: Odrabank Technical equipment was provided by BfN to check if net material is present at the sonar locations BSH/Uni Kiel Towed camera system StarFish 400 khz Sidescan Sonar (ROV) Scientific diving team

7 1. Sidescan sonar - Results Location: Odrabank No nets were found A Stone wall was present at the location of the structure Divers confirmed rocks and smaller stones observed in a long hump Small-scale structures observed on the StarFish sonar corresponded to sand ripples Obstacles: Visibility was < 1.5m StarFish did not redetect the extended structures ROV was limited in manoeverability Towed camera was most useful to evaluate seafloor

8 2. Fisheries Control Authority Location: Ahlbeck, Rostock Two most efficient ways to find nets so far: Net locations known by Divers Net losses known by Fisheries control

9 3. Clearing Area Ahlbeck Location: Ahlbeck to PL border Total area provided by fisheries control: 650m x 2400m = 1.5 km 2 Scanned approx so far: 0.5 km 2 Method used: Fishing vessel & net fork Diver to mark nets with bouyes

10 4. Estonian Hook & Gillnetter density Location: Greifswalder Bodden, Rostock Previous randomised search in high-density trawl fishing areas did not result in net findings (250kg) Fishermen tell us that trawls are not easily lost anymore & they do all they can to retrieve them Situation is different with gillnets: Sportboats and wind break nets, which can lead to loss of fragments => Search in dense gillnet areas

11 Plans for Summer 2017 Extend locations to Rostock, Greifswalder Bodden (to be clarified with nature protection office) Try small-scale fishing vessels with Estonian hook to retrieve gillnets Wrecks with WWF PL/Uni Szczecin 6 wrecks cleared with cultural heritage office Permission from BSH not a problem

12 Recycling Update WP4 Lead partner: WWF Germany

13 Recycling 1. step: shredding of material The Problem: Dirty Material is mixed Metals/cables need to be removed Lead weights are hazardous waste Blades become bland quickly with ropes and nets

14 Recycling 1. step: shredding of material Specialised grinding rotators Sieves with 25mm wholes Nets & ropes treated separately

15 Recycling 1. step: shredding of material

16 Recycling 2. step: Density separation in saline solution High-density saline solution with 1.15 g/cm 3 Plastics & organic polymers float Metal residue & sediments sink

17 Recycling 2. step: Density separation in saline solution High-density saline solution with 1.15 g/cm 3 Plastics & organic polymers float Metal residue & sediments sink Plain water with 1.00 g/cm 3 Nylon sinks PP & PE floats

18 Recycling 3. step: Washing & drying Friction washer: 2 discs move against each other Material is channeled through the slit Fine material < 2.5mm is filtered out Coarser material is slightly pre-dried

19 Recycling 3. step: Washing & drying Fibres remain a challenge:

20 Recycling 3. step: Washing & drying If all goes well...

21 gentlemanrook Recycling Next steps 4. step: Pelletising Material testing & chemical analysis If material is sufficiently pure & formable: Melting into granules Granules can re-enter the production process Any suggestions welcome!

22 Dave Hakkens Recycling pathways: What we do Evaluate technical feasibility Chemical net analysis Materials & chemical contamination Ghostnets Processing pathways Cleaning, sorting, shredding Melting into pellets Thread production Production of new products Use of recyclates & durability Clothing Plastix Global Denmark Clean nets Sorted fibres Pellets Technicum Laboratory Shredded fibres Sorting tests Energy value

23 pinterest hawkvale adidas Recycling pathways: What we do Assess economic value & ecological solutions Lifecycle analysis (PhD thesis) Material quality & quantity Pellet market value What are the best options for re-use?
