While patrolling the protected zones in the Baltic Sea, the crew of the M/V Emanuel Bronner not only found actively-used nets, but several abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG). It is estimated that every year more than 10,000 fishing nets are lost in the Baltic Sea. Almost a tenth of the world's marine waste consists of these “ghost nets”.
