Everyone has a part to play.

A key strength of the GGGI lies in the diversity of our membership, with organizations across the seafood industry, retailers, NGOs, IGOs, technology companies, private sector, academia, governments, and more.

We believe the only way to address the ghost gear problem holistically is to include input and expertise from everyone.

Our work gives opportunities to our members.

Our members help make our projects a reality.

One of the GGGI’s main strengths is having members from all over the world with extremely diverse experience, expertise and skill sets. The GGGI’s relationship with its membership is symbiotic. The GGGI is the global umbrella under which our members can unite to expand their work and address ghost gear in a global context, providing opportunities to our members they might not otherwise have. And our members are what allows us to carry out this crucial work on the ground around the globe.

With the support of GGGI, Enaleia was able to establish this project in the region of Emilia-Romagna, activating more than 600 fishers to collect 25,000 kgs of ALDFG for the first time in Italy, and facilitating the upcycling and recycling of more than 90% of the collected material. The project has been up and running since the initial small grant support in 2021, and is now replicating in more areas of Italy.

Additionally, Enaleia’s Mediterranean Cleanup project has expanded over the last year to Spain and Egypt, envisioning a Mediterranean Sea without ALDFG, where fishing communities are part of the solution.
