Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), also known as ghost gear, consists of any fishing gear that is lost in marine environments. Ghost gear is considered to be the most deadly form of plastic debris to marine wildlife 1. A recent study, attempting a global estimate of rates of fishing gear loss developed from mostly Northern Hemisphere sources, estimated that 5.7% of all fishing nets, 8.6% of traps and pots, and 29% of all fishing lines used globally are abandoned, lost or discarded into the environment2. At least 46% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is made of fishing gear
