Fishing nets on the coastline of the Arctic and North-East Atlantic: a source analysis : findings and recommendations based on an in-depth analysis of the sources, origin, and pathways of fishing nets collected on beaches in Greenland, Iceland, Jan Mayen, Svalbard, the Netherlands, Norway, and Scotland

This report presents the findings and recommendations of the first comparative study into the sources, origin and pathways by which fishing nets end up on beaches spread over the Arctic and North-East Atlantic region: Greenland, Iceland, Jan Mayen, Svalbard, the Netherlands, Norway, and Scotland.
