N2 - This report presents the findings and recommendations of the first comparative study into the sources, origin and pathways by which fishing nets end up on beaches spread over the Arctic and North-East Atlantic region: Greenland, Iceland, Jan Mayen, Svalbard, the Netherlands, Norway, and Scotland. The conclusion of this report is that improved waste management of net cuttings on board bottom trawling vessels and in ports is the most effective mitigation measure to prevent most fishing net litter on beaches.
