KIMO International 35 years!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

KIMO is a network of local governments working together for healthy seas, clean beaches and thriving coastal communities.<\/p>

With more than 80 member municipalities in nine countries, we represent more than seven million citizens in Europe. KIMO was founded in Denmark in 1990. Our mission is to prevent pollution and to protect, conserve and enhance the seas and coastal waters of the Northeast Atlantic and the Baltic Sea.

KIMO Netherlands and Belgium 25 years!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>KIMO Netherlands and Belgium, founded in 1999, is an association of all 33 coastal municipalities with the aim of keeping the North Sea, the coast of the Netherlands and Belgium clean and safe for future generations.<\/p>

Over the past 25 years, we have carried out successful projects with great results. Projects are often carried out in consultation and cooperation with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (Min I&W) and the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (RWS). There is also cooperation with the Fisheries Sector, ports along the entire coast and municipal beach managers and volunteers. Examples include, the Green Deal Clean Beaches, the Green Deal Fisheries for a Clean Sea and the clean-up days of Dutch beaches.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Project Fishing for Litter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our iconic project is Project Fishing for Litter, which we have been running for 24 years. With Fishing for Litter, fishermen take ashore the waste they catch while fishing at sea.<\/p>\n

KIMO is the initiator of Fishing for Litter, working closely with Min. I&W, RWS, the Fisheries Sector, ports and waste processors. An average of 500 tonnes (500,000 kg) of litter is now removed from the sea every year. In the 24 years Fishing for Litter has been active, more than 8,400 tonnes (8,400,000 kg) of waste has been removed from the sea.<\/p>\n

Jubilee conference<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

KIMO's anniversary conference on Thursday 10 October 2024 will focus on climate change, impact on the coast and recycling of waste streams.<\/p>\n

Daarnaast zal KIMO Nederland en Belgi\u00eb haar nieuwe strategie en plannen voor de komende jaren kenbaar maken en presenteren. Gezien de grote ontwikkelingen aan en rondom de kust en de veranderende klimaatomstandigheden, lijkt ons een breed kustnetwerk van toegevoegde waarde. KIMO zal zich sterk gaan maken om dit kustnetwerk vorm te geven.<\/p>\n

The anniversary congress coincides with several National and International meetings. \nYou will find more information on this in the programme.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
