Social inclusion for vibrant fishing communities Jurmala, Latvia – 21 / 23 March 2017 Creation of an adapted unit for recycling of used fishing gear Port of Saint Jean de Luz – Ciboure FLAG Côte Basque – Sud Landes - France Genesis of the project : • Started in 1996, the initial project of recovery marine waste of the Bay of Biscay (Hendaye to Royan) by professional fishermen’s, was planned for two years, then prolonged until 2008. • This Operation “clean sea” on the initiative of the Aquitaine Regional council was carried out by the Institute of the Aquatic environments (IMA) of Bayonne. Project Area With goal : • Sensitizing the professionals fishermen’s with the collecting of waste (old nets, wire, plastic, …).

Starting from 2005, a new impetus had been given to the project with the collection of the old fishing gears in good state from the professionals for their revalorization near communities of fishermen of country in the process of development. 2005, 90 m3 of equipment and old fishing gears was sent to Ivory Coast fishermen’s communities. 2008, 45 m3 was sent in Guinea Conakry and 20 m3 in Haiti. 2009, 20 m3 sent to Gabon. 2015, for the last shipment, 40 m3 was sent to Senegal. 2008 / 2014, a new sector of recycling had been set up, for the revalorization of old fishing gear. A new partnership was set up with the Company “Filet Recyclage” in Brocas (Landes - France) for the revalorization of nets and trawls in bad condition : nearly 80 big-bags of approximately 1 m3 was sent each year. Loading container for shipping to Africa Old fishing gear ready to be sent The project Three Goals : ➢ Start again the collection of worn fishing gear from the professionals fishermen’s for recycling. ➢ Offer to the professionals of these ports (Saint Jean de Luz – Ciboure, Capbreton, Bayonne, Hendaye ) some new services for the disassembling of the nets initially. Repairing, or reassembly fishing nets (tangle nets, gillnets, etc … ) in the second time. ➢ Improve the social inclusion of long-term unemployed people and disabled fishermen by setting up a new adapted unit for recycling worn fishing gear. Fishing Boats from Capbreton and Saint jean de Luz - Ciboure Worn fishing gear, ready to be shipped or disassembling The revalorization work (collection, sorting, disassembling,…) will be entrusted to staff of ADELI Association (Saint Jean de Luz - France). ADELI Association allows people, as defined by the law of the social cohesion of 2005, to acquire the knowledge-being (respect of the schedules, safety standards, team work…) and a know-how, in order to be in capacity to start a course of professional insertion at the conclusion of the contract. ADELI Association a workshop building site of insertion, officially agreed by the Departmental committee of Insertion by the Economic activity. This Association , began its activities on July 1st, 1994. The selected support of insertion is that of the environment. The manpower of association has quintuplet since his creation, to as well answer at the requests of the clients as to those of the public or the social workers. Thus, the structure employs about fifty people including 40 in insertion after a long term unemployed period. The required objectives are done in close collaboration, relay and with the support of the services instructors, the training companies and the whole of the actors of insertion. In partnership with ADELI Association, we would like to set up a new workshop unit where to start our activity around the revalorization of the old fishing gear. ADELI Association as a task force, will recruit a permanent worker, ideally resulting from the fishing activity (young pensioner or somebody who become inapt for the fishing industry), to ensure the framing and the staff training at the workshop. This person should be the link with the fishermen’s, for the collection and the reception of the worn fishing gear, the invoicing of the services and generally the follow-up of the good performance of the workshop. ADELI Association will assign to the operation on the workshop a team from 2 to 3 people (number remaining to confirm) on a basis of operation of the workshop from 2 to 3 days/week. It will be initially and primarily about disassembling of the nets, the ropes, the floats to be sorted by matter (polyamides, polyester, nylon…) and stored to be resold at specialized companies to be transformed by crushing, compaction, etc, in a new “resource matter”, for manufacturing some new products bases, such as (goblets, bumper, shoes, clothing, skateboard- board,…). This project will be carried by CCI Bayonne Pays Basque near the FLAG Côtes Basques - Sud Landes for obtaining one financial aid in the framework of the DLAL program of the FEAMP carried locally by the “Comité Interdépartemental des Pêches Maritimes et des Elevages Marins des Pyrénées – Atlantiques et des Landes (CIDPMEM 64 - 40). Old fishing nets A new Resource Approaches remaining to realize : ➢ Estimate of the estimated and eligible expenditure for the deposit by CCI Bayonne Pays Basque a demand for financial aid (FEAMP) within the framework of the program of DLAL. ➢ Installation and equipment of the workshop (shed). ➢ Personnel costs ➢ Expenses of staff training (disassembling, sorting of the nets by matter, forklift driving licenses,…). ➢ Definition of the terms of convention between CCI Bayonne Pays Basque and ADELI Association. ➢ Fixing the costs of disassembling nets. ➢ Research of companies interested by the tablecloths of nets recovered for a local revalorization (circular economy) in link or partnership with other committed territories or structures in France and Europe in a similar approach (Association La Navicule Bleue, 17530 ARVERT). « La Navicule Bleue » worker Visit of the shed, Association la Navicule Bleue on the port of La Cotinière - France Port de Pêche SAINT JEAN DE LUZ – CIBOURE Sébastien LE REUN Chambre de Commerce et d’industrie de Bayonne Pays Basque 50 / 51 Allées Marines – BP 215 64 102 Bayonne Cedex Tél : + 33 (0)5 59 46 58 87 ( Bayonne ) Tél : + 33 (0)5 59 24 57 90 ( Ciboure ) Mob : + 33 (0)6 30 52 57 44 Email : [email protected] François GALLET Chargé de mission Animateur du programme de DLAL – FEAMP Groupe Côte Basque – Sud Landes 12 Quai Pascal Elissalt 64 500 Ciboure Tél : + 33 (0)5 59 47 65 49 Mob : + 33 (0)6 47 29 62 18 Email : [email protected].
