Reports on the findings of a post-derelict net removal habitat monitoring project in Puget Sound. This study had three objectives. First was to document impacts ofderelict fishing gear on marine habitats. Second was to monitor the recovery of thesehabitats after derelict fishing gear was removed. Third was to monitor sites for newlylost fishing gear to determine re-accumulation rates at these sites. This study showed that marine habitat service functions are negatively affected by derelict fishing gear. It showed that natural ocean processes succeed in restoring these service functions within a single growing season after derelict fishing gear removal for areas dominated by kelp. Eelgrass beds take longer to recover, but can improve by 30% in less than a year. |
