|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) In general The Under Secretary shall establish a pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of providing incentives, such as grants, to fishermen based in the United States who incidentally capture marine debris while at sea—
|
||
|
||
(1) to track or keep the debris on board; and
|
||
|
||
(2) to dispose of the debris properly on land.
|
||
|
||
(b) Support for collection and removal of derelict gear The Under Secretary shall encourage United States efforts, such as the Fishing for Energy net disposal program, that support—
|
||
|
||
(1) collection and removal of derelict fishing gear and other fishing waste;
|
||
|
||
(2) disposal or recycling of such gear and waste; and
|
||
|
||
(3) prevention of the loss of such gear.
