A collaborative project reducing plastic waste by turning discarded fishing nets into artisanal creations
PescArt Menorca tackles plastic pollution by transforming discarded fishing nets into unique artistic creations. This initiative, involving 79 fishermen, has successfully collected 2,180 kg of nets, engaging 25 artisans and artists, directly benefiting 192 individuals from social sectors and 1,647 people through workshops and exhibitions (2023 figures). A total of 711 products were directly sold by the artists involved in the project.
PescArt Menorca is a project within Plastic Free Menorca Alliance, led by Menorca Preservation, which is part of the Conservation Collective.
