Description
The Best Practices Guide for the Management of Fishing Gear specifically for the APEC region and APEC member economies builds on the Global Ghost Gear Initiative Best Practice Framework for the Management of Capture Fisheries (C-BPF) and the Global Ghost Gear Initiative Best Practice Framework for the Management of Aquaculture Gear (A-BPF), as well as the UN Food and Agriculture Organization Voluntary Guidelines for the Marking of Fishing Gear (VGMFG) to create an APEC-specific document with innovative and successful approaches for managing and preventing Abandoned, Lost and otherwise Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG).
