Description
This pilot study follows the movements of 6 derelict fishing nets over time to study how far derelict nets can travel within an atoll, and how long they remain stationary. Six floating derelict fishing nets were located and tagged with satellite buoys in Pearl and Hermes Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands during a marine debris removal mission in 2018. Locations of the 6 nets were transmitted every four hours from 09-30-2018 until the buoys broke free or stopped transmitting due to technical reasons. Last known stationary locations were surveyed on a return mission in September of 2021, and 4 of the 6 nets were relocated.
