According to a new report by the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), 580 kilograms of derelict fishing gear are generated in Brazilian waters every day, accounting for 10 percent of all marine plastic pollution. Trawls, hooks and other debris cause fish to be injured or suffocate, and threaten endangered species. According to the survey, 25 international aquaculture companies, including Union (Thailand) and Trimarine (USA), have failed to take effective measures, and Camil Foods (Brazil) has been ranked the lowest for having no solution at all.
