Industrial fishing, instrumental in feeding the world's population while providing a livelihood to many people, also presents variety of hazards health ocean, including accumulation derelict fishing gear. Although direct evidence harm from gear is abundant, efforts quantify and assess threats posed by it are confounded part tremendous diversity techniques. In this paper, we advance novel analytic framework for describing use that can be applied evaluate environmental impacts arise activity. We model as unit process comprising three successive characterizations, each which observed validated independently: intensity effort, material gear, effect. present method an open-source computation system with library models reviewed extended research community. apply program estimate generation several different types discuss how expanded understanding industrial at global scale.
