Raising public awareness of environmental protection and protecting our seas is essential. And the project "Fishing for Plastic" tries to give a concrete answer.

Between May and June, in fact, some forty fishing boats from San Benedetto del Tronto, on Italy’s Adriatic coast, collected and brought ashore all the plastic recovered during fishing. A month after the start of the activity, FPT Industrial and the initiative partners took stock today, at the Museum of the Sea in San Benedetto del Tronto (Ascoli Piceno), literally bringing to the surface significant data.
