Collaborative action on preventing and developing sustainable solutions to end-of-life abandoned, lost and discarded fishing and aquaculture gear, and associated materials.
FGCAC
The Coalition works collaboratively on resource management, retrieval, communications, and research. FGCAC has proven effective in laying the groundwork to fill these gaps, while working alongside government and industry, as well as other stakeholders and rights holders.
Since forming in November 2018, the Fishing Gear Coalition of Atlantic Canada (FGCAC) has been working collaboratively on preventing and recovering end-of-life abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing and aquaculture gear and developing sustainable solutions to retrieve and recycle these materials.
