Knowledge Measures
Materials and design
Focus on producing nets with materials that do not get residuals and biological components attached (biofouling), in
order to avoid fast degrading processes.
Improve the technical characteristics of the biodegradable plastics efforts should focus on reducing the time needed to
degrade them and to increase their resistance to harsh conditions
Efforts should focus on improving the design of small/non-valuable/Single Use Plastic items.
Focus the design of aquaculture facilities on creating stable and solid infrastructures to minimize losses and damages.
All aquaculture gear should be designed to be as resistant as possible to harsh marine conditions and to be able to
attach to other items to avoid loss or damage
