ISMER IRELAND LTD

Environnmental respect ( in addition of legal requirements of course )

Harbours and coastal creeks are also very important places where
marine life find shelter forfeed, reproduction and growth.
The bottom must remain as clean as possible.
All our equipment and procedures are designed in this aim.

- Zero dumping of plastics, metal, detergents, chemicals and other waste,
particularly small pieces ( electrical wire, coloured plastics, shiny cuts of metal . . .)
which could be taken as bait and ingested by fish.
A huge number of them will die
that way ; victims are for example Red mullet, Monkfish and Flatfish.
Have a look to photos below


- INISHGLAS and our Rib have no antifouling coat.

- INISHGLAS and our Rib are fitted to keep all oil leaks on board,
and hydraulic pipes and rings are regularly changed.

- Packings of our purchases and domestic waste of boats are sorted and landed.

- Exclusion of our purchases of tar painted chains and excess greasy components
as this is usually absolutely useless underwater.

- The efficiency of our production is constantly improved so we can keep at the s
mallest possible limit the jamming of harbour bottoms by blocks and chains.
This includes the swinging area by the use of short chains and intermediate buoys
will be placed on rocky bottom and where particular species must be protected.

- We strongly recommend to our clients to remove their mooring buoys during winter
and to dry on the shore their pontoons if not in use for 3 reasons :
1°) minimise the useless wear by waves during winter
2°) allow marine life to recolonise the bottom, even for a few months.
3°) avoid that dying mussels fall on bottom, attracting and feeding starfish,
which are really threatening for biodiversity.


- Systematic removal from the places where we work of all encountered waste
(provided disposal on shore is possible) :
glass, metal and plastic, batteries, lost nets and pots.
Bigger objects will be signalled to local authorities.

- Systematic signalling to local authorities of everything found abnormal :
dead animals, pollution, etc, but also unusual fish and shelfish presence,
with a video if possible.

We will do the same with everything potentially useful for impact studies.

These small pieces, in the sea, will certainly be caught by fish as bait.
