| Title: |
Derelict fishing nets tagged with satellite buoys in Pearl and Hermes Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and tracked from 2018-09-29 to 2020-09-23 (NCEI Accession 0229980) |
| Abstract: |
This pilot study follows the movements of 6 derelict fishing nets over the course of two years to study how far derelict nets can travel within an atoll or outside, 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. Locations of the 6 nets were transmitted every four hours from 09-29-2018 to 09-23-2020. |
