Description
This document summarizes the input received from fishing industry and related stakeholders on the content, relevance and feasibility of the best Practice Framework developed by the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI). A consultation process was launched in 2017, and their feedback was sought through anonymous online survey and a series of webinars with targeted stakeholder groups. They responded to questions about familiarity with ghost gear and ghost fishing, the relative importance of the issue (from the respondent’s perspective), and the Framework’s strengths and weaknesses.
