Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source specifies a standalone quantitative indicator with both a count and a proportion output. A structured table preserves the distinct retrieval and reporting routes and the denominator required for the percentage, rather than flattening them into one undifferentiated count.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- Define what constitutes lost fishing gear and the gear-item counting method.
- State the denominator used for the reported proportion of lost gear.
- Disclose whether an item that is both retrieved and reported is counted once or under both action categories.
- Identify the relevant authority or international initiative used for reporting where applicable.
Record-specific limitations
- Retrieval and reporting are not necessarily mutually exclusive; counts must not be double counted without disclosure.
- Reported gear may not equal gear successfully retrieved.
- The percentage depends on the completeness and definition of the lost-gear denominator.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
