Rates of Marine Species Mortality Cause by Derelict Fishing Nets in Puget Sound, Washington
- Northwest Straits
During the spring and summer of 2007 the Northwest Straits Initiative and Natural Resources Consultants, Inc., began a derelict net monitoring project in Puget Sound, Washington, to study the rates at which derelict gillnets entangle marine animals and the decomposition processes those animals undertake after entanglement. This is one component of the larger derelict fishing gear (derelict gear) program.
