Experts speak at the conference.
The REVFIN project will be implemented from 2022-2025, by Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences (Germany) in collaboration with Nha Trang University, Ha Long University, Kien Giang University and partners in Vietnam, with funding from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Resource Conservation, Nuclear Security and Consumer Protection of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The project aims to address the issue of discarded fishing gear in Vietnam’s waters, reducing the amount of unused, lost or discarded fishing gear, raising awareness to avoid gear loss for businesses, fishermen and fisheries management agencies, as well as society in general. Thereby, aiming to reduce environmental impacts and create markets for recycled raw materials from these sources to create a closed value chain.
At this workshop, the parties focused on discussing and preparing well for the installation of fishing gear recycling equipment at the exhibition space of REVFIN project products located at Kien Giang University, as well as proposing solutions to achieve the project's goals in the coming time.

"The school will research and incorporate content on fishing gear waste and fishing gear recycling techniques into training programs to ensure suitability and effectiveness. At the same time, it will improve the capacity of staff, lecturers and students by creating conditions for lecturers and students to participate in training and coaching skills related to practicing fishing gear recycling techniques," said Dr. Nguyen Van Thanh.
