DLNR NEWS RELEASE: NEW HOTLINE ESTABLISHED TO REPORT DERELICT FISHING GEAR
Posted on Jun 3, 2021 in Latest News, Newsroom
(HONOLULU) – The State and four non-profit organizations have teamed up to create a new statewide number to report marine debris. Derelict fishing gear, like nets, is responsible for entangling marine life like turtles and humpback whales.
Kristen Kelly with the DLNR Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) Protected Species Program explained, “The idea is to have people call in hazardous nets immediately. We can mount a rapid response to remove these nets from our shorelines as quickly as possible and before they drift back into the open ocean.
