Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) comprises a significant amount of global marine debris, with diverse impacts to marine environments, wildlife, and the fishing industry. Building evidence on ALDFG is critical to holistically understand the marine debris issue, and to inform the development of solutions that reduce amounts of ALDFG sources and recover existing gear. Substantial work has been and continues to be undertaken around the world to collect data on ALDFG, much of which remains unpublished. To provide a global picture of data on ALDFG, we organized a technical session that brought together seven ALDFG leaders to share their expertise in data collection, retrieval, and awareness-raising. This paper summarizes the technical session to highlight: 1) case studies that feature innovative approaches to ALDFG data collection and retrieval; 2) examples of opportunities to fill data gaps and improve our understanding of wildlife ingestion of and entanglement in ALDFG; and 3) awareness-raising through the development of a publicly accessible global ALDFG database.
废弃、丢失或丢弃的渔具（ALDFG）构成了全球海洋废弃物的重要组成部分，对海洋环境、野生动物和渔业产生了多种影响。建立关于 ALDFG 的证据对于全面了解海洋废弃物问题至关重要，并为减少 ALDFG 来源数量和回收现有渔具的解决方案提供信息。世界各地已经并将继续开展大量工作来收集有关 ALDFG 的数据，其中大部分仍未发表。为了提供有关 ALDFG 数据的全球概况，我们组织了一次技术会议，汇集了七位 ALDFG 领导者，分享他们在数据收集、检索和提高认识方面的专业知识。本文总结了技术会议，重点介绍：1）案例研究，介绍了 ALDFG 数据收集和检索的创新方法；2）通过开发公共可访问的全球 ALDFG 数据库，填补数据空白和提高我们对野生动物摄入和纠缠 ALDFG 的理解的机会示例；3）提高认识。
