Every year, the fishing industry worldwide loses enormous amounts of equipment.

This leads to significant economic losses – but also contributes to marine littering and what is known as "ghost fishing." Over 25 million traps and nets disappear annually, according to recent studies. This corresponds to approximately 8.6% of all traps set globally. This is not sustainable – neither for nature nor for the industry.

The loss of fishing gear creates a double loss: value is lost immediately, and the gear continues to catch fish – without being emptied. This threatens both our fish stocks and ecosystems.

The solution must be concrete and practical, not just theoretical. One such measure is TrapSaver™, which through automated buoyancy and a robust release mechanism makes it possible to recover traps that would otherwise be lost. Tests show that with TrapSaver™ it is possible to reduce trap loss by up to 75%.

This is a tool that not only helps the individual fisherman but also makes an important contribution to reducing ghost fishing and preserving our traditional fisheries for future generations.

🔹 Lost gear = lost income
🔹 Ghost fishing = deadly waste
🔹 TrapSaver™ = practical solution for a sustainable future
