Magic Spangle Studios proudly presents "Tangled Waters: The Fight Against Plastic Waste in Goa's Fishing Industry" a compelling documentary short film that delves into the critical issue of plastic waste management in Goa, India, with a special focus on innovative interventions for the management of fishing nets. This initiative, spearheaded by GIZ India in partnership with the European Union Resource Efficiency Initiative (EU-REI), aims to tackle the environmental challenge posed by discarded and abandoned fishing nets, also known as ghost nets, which have devastating effects on marine life and biodiversity.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Goa, a coastal state where fishing is a vital livelihood for many, the documentary uncovers the grim reality of plastic waste in the form of fishing nets that litter both land and sea. Highlighting the pilot demonstration project's efforts, the film explores the creation of an enabling ecosystem that encourages the local fishing community to engage in sustainable practices. By collecting and recycling these ghost nets, the project seeks to foster green business opportunities, promote a circular economy, and combat marine litter.

Featuring the interventions in three fishing villages—Siridao, Cacara, and Odxel—the documentary showcases the collaborative efforts to set up a collection mechanism for discarded fishing nets. Through interviews, on-ground footage, and expert insights, "Tangled Waters" brings to light the project's impact, challenges, and the collective journey towards responsible end-of-life management of fishing nets.

Join us on this eye-opening journey as we explore the challenges and triumphs of managing plastic waste in Goa's fishing industry. This film not only serves as a testament to the power of community-driven environmental initiatives but also as a crucial visibility tool to inspire action and support for setting up sustainable waste management practices in coastal communities around the world.
