UNITED NATIONS, April 21 (Xinhua) -- The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on Thursday warned of the environmental consequences of lost and abandoned fishing gear, saying the agency was making efforts to reduce the sea trash.
At present, it accounts for about one-tenth of all marine litter, translating into hundreds of thousands of tonnes annually, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here.
""Growing concern over this problem, coupled with the increasing availability of new technologies to recover this equipment, has led FAO to begin developing international guidelines on the effective tagging of fishing gear as a way to cut down levels of troublesome sea trash,"" he said.
The abandoned fishing gear often continues to carry out the capture process, entangling fish and other marine animals in its nets, a phenomenon known as ""ghost fishing.""
What is known as abandoned, lost and otherwise discarded fishing gear makes up a significant portion of all debris in the oceans.
Past efforts to develop international guidelines have been largely fragmented. There are few systematic requirements by governments for ownership marking of gear, and no international regulations, guidelines or common practices exist for marine areas outside of national jurisdictions.
But that is starting to change, due to growing concerns of congestion in coastal waters, risks to safe navigation and accidental deaths of marine life.
In early April, an initial set of draft guidelines was discussed during a meeting of experts held at FAO's Headquarters in Rome. The results will be presented to FAO's Committee on Fisheries in July for review and direction regarding next steps.
""What we need is a simple and affordable system that permits easy identification of ownership of gear, fishery of origin and position of gear in the water,"" said FAO Fishery Industry Officer Petri Suuronen.
""The development of internationally recognized standards on marking all fishing gear will help us to better understand the reasons for gear loss and identify appropriate preventive measures.""
Currently, advances in marking technology are offering new possibilities for efficient tracking and recovery of lost gear and are changing the way the problem is being tackled.
