About this event

Join Clean Ocean Access on the docks for a conversation about ghost gear with local fishermen. This will be the field visit component of our Land to Sea series on the topic of ghost gear, which started back in January with a webinar by David Bethoney of the Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation. You will meet several fishermen, who will provide some perspective on their day-to-day routine, as well as share their personal experiences with ghost gear. To learn more about CFRF's ghost gear projects visit the website program pages: https://www.cfrfoundation.org/ghost-gear and www.cfrfoundation.org/planning-a-ghost-gear-removal-program-for-rhode-island.
