Title
Building evidence around ghost gear: Global trends and analysis for sustainable solutions at scale
Description
To identify and communicate the current global state of knowledge around ALDFG data and research, the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI)'s Build Evidence Working Group invited speakers from around the world to share their work around ALDFG data collection at a technical session during the 6th International Marine Debris Conference. Seven speakers presented on a range of ALDFG-related topics, including: ocean retrieval, data collection, impacts from both active gear and ALDFG, the importance of clearly differentiating between active gear and ALDFG in the marine debris context, and how data collection efforts are informing the development of solutions to and awareness-raising of the ALDFG issue. This paper summarizes the technical session to frame a global snapshot of unpublished ALDFG data.
