Please see the following release shared by Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries relative 2026 Derelict Gear Removal Locations.
EXCERPT BELOW:
"Despite the regulatory changes, disposing of derelict gear can sometimes still be challenging. Many waste facilities have restrictions on what they can accept, constraining the ability to dispose of gear debris once brought ashore or cleaned up from the shoreline. To help combat this problem, State Senator Bruce Tarr earmarked $50,000 to DMF to fund municipal and organizational derelict gear removal programs through fiscal year 2026. Since initiated, eight programs across the state have been awarded funds to tackle the issue."
