Mapping ghost gear in Narragansett Bay

In the summer of 2021, Charlie Enright took an excursion out on his local waters of Narragansett Bay with the Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation onboard the fishing vessel Christopher Andrew to learn about the problems ghost gear causes for local habitats and commercial fisherman.
