Resumen
Descripción
This paper, a product of the Forum,
summarizes actions that can be taken to manage Abandoned,
Lost, and Otherwise Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) in the
context of the three life-cycle stages of fishing gear:
design and production, usage, and EOL. While it is helpful
to discuss the various ALDFG management actions in terms of
these life-cycle stages, it is equally important to view the
problem with a wider lens, recognizing that actions at each
stage interact and therefore must complement each other for
management strategies to be effective. Governments can make
significant progress reducing harmful effects of ALDFG by
taking a holistic approach, recognizing that prevention,
mitigation, and remediation at all life-cycle stages are required.
