A full-on and mega deep dive into the effects of ALDFG on marine biodiversity is probs gonna majorly up the count of species that are affected by marine debris, since there's not a lot of solid info on species getting tangled in ALDFG in certain areas Crazy, right? An estimated 76 birbs, 153 fishies and 1100 invertebs were totally wrecked per year cuz they got tangled up in this one gill net, like, RIP. That includes the ones that decomposed and got eaten, ya know? The impacts of ghost fishing on marine communities haven't been clearly determined yet, but the high mortality rates reported for Puget Sound, especially for invertebrates, suggest that ghost fishing effects could be major (CBD, 2016). Cause it can mess 'em up and suffocate 'em. Sancho et al. (2003) were like, "Yo, these lost tangle nets in northern Spain catch about 5% of the total commercial catch, fam."
