Six floating derelict fishing nets were located and tagged with satellite buoys in Pearl and Hermes Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands during a marine debris removal mission in 2018. Locations of the 6 nets were transmitted every four hours from 09-30-2018 until the buoys broke free or stopped transmitting due to technical reasons. Last known stationary locations were surveyed on a return mission in September of 2021, and 4 of the 6 nets were relocated. Tracking net movement and stationary times will help the marine debris program be more efficient in the future when removing derelict fishing nets from the NWHI.

Locations were imported into csv file, coordinates were converted to decimal degrees in excel, then the files were loaded into the software program R. In R, date and time were separated and formatted to have consistent formats. Several points of bogus transmissions were removed, and all files were combined into one (raw data is one file for each buoy for each month).; Data Quality Method: Location accuracy dependent on software: Satlink ELB3010 ILL asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI.
