What is gear retrieval (ghost gear recovery)?
Glossary
Ghost gear harms marine life, habitats, and fisheries by continuing to catch animals and pollute oceans. Solutions include better gear design, recovery tech, and global cooperation.
What is seabed litter?
Glossary
Seabed litter harms marine life and habitats. Reducing plastic use, recycling, and better waste management help prevent this harmful ocean floor pollution and protect marine ecosystems.
What is a lost gear declaration?
Glossary
A Lost Gear Declaration reports fishing gear lost at sea, preventing harmful ghost fishing, protecting marine life, and supporting sustainable fishing by promoting cleanup and better practices.
