Abstract
This report highlights the potentially wasteful and destructive impacts of lost fishing gear, otherwise known as 'ghost fishing'. The causes of gear loss vary between and within different fishing areas and types of vessels and could be due to a) conflict with other sectors, principally towed gear operators; b) working in deep water; c) working in poor weather conditions and/or on very hard ground; d) working very long nets or fleets of nets; and e) working more gear than can be hauled regularly.
