Ghost gear, which refers to abandoned or lost fishing nets and gear, often entangles various marine species, including fish such as cod, haddock, and salmon. These fish, along with other marine life like sea turtles and seals, can suffer from injuries or death due to being trapped in this discarded equipment. The problem is prevalent in many fishing regions worldwide, highlighting the need for better management and disposal of fishing gear. Efforts are ongoing to mitigate the impact of ghost gear on marine ecosystems.
