Tackling Marine Litter – Fishing and Aquaculture Gear
18 November 2024
Fishing and aquaculture gear is a global problem when abandoned, lost, or discarded. As marine litter it is harming ecosystems and threatening the marine environment.
Simply put, marine litter represents a failure in product and waste management.
It’s why we’re working with governments and industry to understand the problem and identify innovative solutions to manage waste gear responsibly.
Resource Futures’ three-step approach:
- Quantify gear use and waste
- Design effective policy solutions
