A review of ghost gear entanglement amongst marine mammals, reptiles and elasmobranchs
This review focuses on the effect that ghost gear entanglement has on marine megafauna, namely mammals, rep-tiles and elasmobranchs. A total of 76 publications and other sources of grey literature were assessed, and these highlighted that over 5400 individuals from 40 different species were recorded...
