Approaches to the collection and recycling of end of life fishing gear: An Overview with Contacts and Case Studies.

Abstract

This document was created by the Catalyse and Replicate Solutions Working Group of the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI). The purpose of the document is to assist prospective solutions project managers by providing a general overview of challenges and opportunities surrounding the collection and recycling of fishing gear, building on the assumption that finding appropriate solutions to the management of end of life and recovered fishing gear will have a direct impact on the amount of gear that ends up lost or otherwise discarded at sea.
