Descripción
The Government of Indonesia’s (GoI)
National Plan of Action on Marine Plastic Debris (NPOA-MPD
2017-2025) outlines the ambitious objective to reduce marine
plastic debris by seventy percent by 2025. Abandoned, Lost
and Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) is considered to be a
major component of sea-based sources of marine debris. ALDFG
has increased in recent decades due to the expansion of
fishing effort and greater use of synthetic fishing gear
materials. Drivers of ALDFG generation include gear
characteristics, fishery management frameworks and
socioeconomic factors. The impacts of ALDFG on the
environment, economy, livelihoods and food security are
significant. ALDFG management and mitigation strategies have
the potential to contribute to Indonesia’s marine plastic
debris while also providing economic opportunities. This
study aims to enhance the evidence available to support
efforts to improve the management, retrieval and recycling
of End-of-life fishing gear (EOLFG) and ALDFG in Indonesia.
