This is wonderful, but I wonder if cost of adoption is an issue? I know that abandoned netting is a substantial source of plastics in the ocean, so I expect that fishing operations are sensitive to the replacement cost.
- wffurr 5y agoIf the alternative is a total shutdown of the fishery, seems like it might be worth the cost.
- sp332 5y agoIf abandoned netting is so common, wouldn't that mean they're not sensitive to replacement costs?
- brigandish 5y agoThey might become more sensitive if the alternative nets cost substantially (i.e. enough that they become sensitive) more.
