[MARMAM] FW: REQUEST for Data regarding the locations of global hotspots where ghost nets and their effects on Marine Mammals are a particular problem

Dear All I am trying to compile data to highlight particular areas in the world that where marine mammals are effected by ghost fishing caused by ghost nets. I am particularly interested in data regarding location; however any information with statistics regarding net types and by catch species would be beneficial.
