Description
The impact on the ecosystem generated by marine pollution is currently a major problem that alters the natural state of our seas, largely made up of marine debris from fishing gear.
Most studies around the world on marine debris, from the 1960s to the present, report the presence of fishing gear as marine debris (Link etal., 2019). Macfyden (2011) published a report on abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), determining that the most polluting gears are gillnets, traps and longlines and that they represent 10% of the world's marine litter. Which coincidentally are the most used in Peru.
