Docapesca was present at coastal clean-up actions in Esposende and the Algarve, specifically in Fuseta and Vila Real de Santo António, as part of the "A Pesca por um Mar Sem Lixo" project.

The initiative, which took place last Saturday, was supported by the Esposende Municipal Council, Esposende Ambiente, and the Guardians of the Cávado. Docapesca was represented by the Communication and Marketing Department, with Eng. Helena Cardoso and Beatriz Alves, who accompanied the waste collection and awareness-raising activities.
The main objective of these actions is to reinforce the importance of protecting the coastline and marine ecosystems, raising awareness about the need for a Trash-Free Sea. The initiative in Esposende took place near the Bird Observatory, with the active participation of the local community and partners.
Docapesca's participation in these campaigns underscores its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and the promotion of responsible practices in the fishing sector and port management.
