Ocean Conservancy is reviewing and compiling information on ingestion
or entanglement of marine mammals in ocean trash and/or discarded, lost, or
abandoned fishing gear.
We have compiled a fairly extensive bibliography, but would be
very interested in any additional information that may be harder to find, such
as information in theses/dissertations, “gray” literature,
government reports, or other publications with limited distribution. We would
also be very interested in any anecdotal information you would be willing to
share.
We would be happy to share the bibliography we have compiled so
far with other interested researchers, conservationists, and educators.
Thank you for your help, and I hope to see you in Quebec!
