The damage to corals and other coral-associated organisms due to various fishing methods and gears is long documented. As observed in the Florida Keys, USA, 84% of the sponges and cnidarians have faced partial or full mortality due to the adverse effects of lost fishing gear. However, only recently the effects of monofilament fishing lines on corals have been identified as seen in Hawaii, where they have caused higher mortality and damage to colonies compared to areas where fishing is not prevalent.References
