| Abstract: | Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors report no relationships that could be construed as a conflict of interest. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of management strategies in reducing ALDFG, improving fisher compliance, and mitigating marine pollution in Taiwan's coastal regions. Through a questionnaire survey of 248 gillnet fishers, the research examined their perceptions of ALDFG-related policies, including marking regulations, recycling mechanisms, and marine environmental awareness. The results indicate that while 85.8 % fishers support stronger financial incentives for ALDFG recycling, significant discrepancies exist between different fishing groups. In particular, small-scale artisanal sampan fishers showed lower approval rates for these policies. The findings highlight the need for adaptive strategies, improved stakeholder engagement, and enhanced financial incentives to promote compliance and environmental responsibility. These insights provide valuable recommendations for improving ALDFG management and protecting Taiwan's coastal ecosystems. (Copyright © 2025 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.) |
