The Economic Pressure of Unintentional Fishing

A lot of times it's just severe weather. And believe me, if you're a commercial fisherman, that is about the worst thing that can happen to you short of sinking while you're out. There's also what they call spatial pressure where some nets floating along and another boat comes into the area,. doesn't see it and cuts them loose from their moorings. That has just become ghost fishing gear itself. It makes more sense for you to just litter.
