The Gofree Project "Introduction of the striped humpback shrimp (Plesionika edwardsii) fishing in Sardegna" started in April 2021, its primary objective was to create pots lined with prototypes of biodegradable and compostable materials to be used for fishing for striped hunchback, a deep-water crayfish.

  • Add event to calendar iCal

The choice of a more sustainable approach and the use of a tool, associated with the involvement of fishermen and local communities, has directed the project towards perspectives of reconciliation between tradition, sustainability and innovation that are crucial for the conservation of biodiversity.

The Gofree project is drawing to a close, but experimentation on the use of biodegradable and compostable materials in the marine environment is only just beginning.

It will take time to fully understand the potential of these materials and how they can contribute to the protection of the marine environment.

On 18 April 2023, at 18:00, ISPRA researchers will present the documentary Gofree to the fishermen who collaborated on the project, at the Museo Del Porto in Porto Torres

On 19 April 2023, at 10:00, the final event of the project will take place at the Porto Conte Ricerche headquarters, Loc. Tramariglio, Alghero.
