There are numerous known impacts of derelict fishing gear (DFG) to marine ecosystems and safe navigation
around the world. To mitigate these impacts, the preemptive detection and removal of DFG at sea are
being pursued. This special issue focuses on the North Pacific Ocean because of historic and ongoing
research on DFG in the area, particularly as it relates to the Hawaiian Archipelago. In order to develop
an effective detection strategy, information and expertise from three disciplines must be integrated: marine
debris, oceanography, and remote sensing technology. Building upon results and discussions during a
workshop held in December 2008, this special issue provides both results of original research and review
papers, pursuing each discipline as it relates to DFG and outlining a multi-faceted strategy to effectively
detect DFG at sea. This strategy serves as a roadmap, taking us closer to realizing the goal of detecting and
removing DFG at sea.
