The Global Ghost Gear Initiative (CGGI) has developed a Ghost Gear Reporter app on the Google Play and Apple and Apple App stores worldwide. CGGI encourages the use of the app in any ghost gear related work, beach clean ups, etc. It’s simple, intuitive and easy to use and all data gets fed into the CGGI global data portal, helping to establish a global baseline of data on ghost gear around the world. The app allows for as much or as little data as you have to be uploaded, as well as photographs and geo-locations of the gear via mobile devices.

Fishers are also encouraged to use the app and report when they either lose gear themselves or find previously lost gear while out fishing. Data collected from the app will be used to build evidence of ghost gear around the world and will help to inform ongoing solutions work in the future.
