Panama: Cemex and the Panamanian Authority of Aquatic Resources (ARAP), with Audubon Americas as a facilitating partner, are working together to dispose of discarded fishing nets. Cemex plans to collect fishing nets via Regenera, its waste management business, and then use them as an alternative fuel at its cement plants. The initiative is intended to reduce the damage to marine ecosystems by so-called ‘ghost’ nets that kill animals such as fish, crustaceans, sea turtles, sharks and whales in the Gulf of Panama.
