Torngat Wildlife and Plants Secretariat has a new project that will hopefully get underway next week.
Craig Taylor is the Fisheries Analyst.
He says the ghost gear initiative under Fisheries and Oceans Canada has been ongoing fer couple of years.
Taylor added the Secretariat applied and received funding to search for lost gear in the oceans bottom.
He says they rented a vessel that is equipped with a sonar to look for nets on the oceans floor.
