Good practices to assist the offshore aquaculture sector in the prevention, reduction, monitoring, quantification, removal and recycling of marine litter

Description

The purpose of this paper is to assist the offshore aquaculture by providing an inventory (non-exhaustive) of good practice as a means to prevent, reduce, monitor, quantify, remove and recycle marine litter in the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the North Sea basins. It builds on the assumption that adapting and replicating good practice in the management and recovery of aquaculture gear and other equipment, will have a direct impact on the amount of litter that ends up lost or discarded at sea.
