Porto Torres joins the Vox Maris project with a day dedicated to the recovery and recycling of end-of-life fishing nets. On Saturday 14 November 2026, the Banchina Pescherecci of the civic port will host containers where fishermen and local operators can deposit worn-out nets. The initiative is promoted by the BioDesign Foundation with the support of the Municipal Administration of Porto Torres. The work involves preparing the nets (removing floats and weights), packaging, polymer identification and separate collection. The TrinamiX sensor identifies the type of plastic of each net on site, facilitating selection and sending to recycling. The goal is to combat ghost fishing and the dispersion of microplastics in the sea. During the day, filming for the documentary "From Net to Net Worth" will take place: participants can share their experience and contribute to the film.
