This report refers to the Framework Contract EASME/EMFF/2016/008 and, specifically, to Specific Contract No7 EASME/EMFF/2017/1.3.2.6 “Testing designs and identify options to mitigate impacts of drifting FADs on the ecosystem”. The main objective of the project is to test the use of specific biodegradable materials and designs for the construction of non-entangling and biodegradable fish aggregating devices (BIOFADs) in at sea natural environmental conditions. This study aims to provide criteria and guidelines to identify options to mitigate drifting FADs impacts on the ecosystem (e.g., marine litter, FAD beaching and ghost fishing). It also assesses the efficiency of BIOFAD and the socio-economic viability of phasing out of non-entangling FADs (NEFAD) by BIOFADs in the purse seine tropical tuna fishery in the Indian Ocean. Finally, it suggests potential biodegradable materials and designs providing recommendations to promote the implementation of fully non-entangling and biodegradable FADs.
