This study investigated the conditions of abandoned, lost, discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) in natural and artificial reef zones and removed it afterward in Penghu Islands. Various feasible suggestions for improving ALDFG management were proposed for the county government to manage and reduce the generation of ALDFG in the future and maintain the marine ecosystem. This study divided the ocean areas of Penghu into five sub-areas for carrying out research and surveys. 165 boat trips of ALDFG investigation and removal were conducted from July 2018 to October 2019. The results show the ALDFG in natural reef areas is mostly large-mesh gillnets (26 %). The rest are single-layer bottom gillnets (21 %) and multi-layer bottom gillnets (20 %). In line with the recent efforts of the Penghu County Government to address ALDFG, it is recommended that the participation of citizen scientists and the promotion of ocean education can be utilized for fishery co-management in Penghu.
