01Abandoned fishing gear endangers Thailand's marine ecology

Phuket News: Recently, according to the Thai Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the proportion of endangered marine organisms threatened by plastic waste in the Andaman Sea of Phuket has increased from 20% in 2021 to 30% in 2023. It is understood that Phuket, Thailand is famous for its clear and green waters, pristine white beaches, and vibrant underwater world. However, in recent years, the underwater world in Phuket's waters has been polluted by "ghost fishing gear", and more and more marine life has been killed.


"Ghost fishing gear" refers to discarded or lost fishing gear, such as fishing nets and lines entangled in coral reefs, which is a type of marine plastic waste. Fishing nets covering coral reefs can seriously hinder the photosynthesis of coral polyps and cause fatal damage to corals. Other marine organisms may also be entangled in fishing nets and die. In the long run, plastic waste such as fishing nets will decompose into microplastics and enter the food chain. The head of the Phuket Marine Rescue Center, Bhacharbang, pointed out that plastic waste is a major cause of death for endangered marine life. According to the World Wildlife Fund, approximately one million metric tons of fishing gear are discarded in the sea each year.


Southeast Environmental Justice Foundation for Ocean Cleanup WorkSha Lisha, the manager of Asia Plastics, said that their divers will carry tools to record relevant data when going into the sea, such as the type of fishing gear they pick up, date, location, how far they are from the water surface, and what objects they cover. I hope these data can assist marine scientists in assessing the impact of fishing gear waste on the ecology of Thai waters.
