This project involves academia, the fishing community, civil society, the political and business spheres, with the main objective of transforming daily discarded waste into something new and valuable, capable of promoting conscious and globally sustainable consumption. The project also has as its motto, another project taking place in Portugal, called "Fishing for a sea without waste" promoted by Docapesca - Portos e Lotas, S.A. with the support of APLM - Portuguese Marine Waste Association.
The project was also monitored by BlueInvest through mentoring promoted by PwC of Luxembourg.
