Progress description																	Via de relevante stuurgroepen van het Coördinatie Comité Internationaal Milieubeleid	Permanente monitoring en strengere handhaving (boetes tot 10k €) mbt intrusies (werk/veiligheidszone windparken) door visserijschepen sinds 2018 / brochure 'veiligheid binnen windparken' (comm. FOD mobiliteit)	Er werd onderzocht of er zich een specifieke problematiek voordoet rond afval die overboord gegooid wordt door zeilers of recreatieve vissers. De 9 jachthavens aan de Belgische kust werden telefonisch gecontacteerd en geïnterviewd op 31 juli of 1 en 2 augustus 2018. In het rapport van deze interviews worden meer concrete actiepunten voor de komende jaren opgesomd. Eén van de acties is het sensibiliseren van zeilers en recreatieve vissers omtrent sigarettenpeuken in zee. Hiertoe worden asbakjes besteld, die zullen worden uitgedeeld op de Belgian Boatshow en de verkeersveilige dagen in 2019. Bovendien werd in 2019 een inspiratiemoment voor de jachtclubs georganiseerd, oa. rond thema's zoals selectieve afvalpreventie en afvalinzameling, communicatie naar de leden, Blauwe vlag & bezoekers, en het gebruik van de SeaBIN (seabinproject.com) in havens.	In 2018-2019 werd een grondige test uitgevoerd worden waarbij alternatieven voor loodvrije werpgewichten aan de recreatieve visserij ter beschikking werden gesteld, deze werden getest en op zee gebruikt. De gedetailleerde weersomstandigheden, werpefficiëntie, vangstefficiëntie en mate van verlies tijdens het hengelen werden nauwkeurig geregistreerd en geëvalueerd. Op basis van de resultaten van deze test bleek dat deze alternatieve materialen weinig tot geen vermindering in vangstsucces veroorzaken. In het volgende maatregelenprogramma zal onderzocht worden of er verdere stappen tot het uitfaseren van vislood kunnen ondernomen worden.
