  abstract = {{D}ebris from fisheries pose significant threats to coastal marine ecosystems worldwide. {T}ropical tuna purse seine fisheries contribute to this problem via the construction and deployment of thousands of human-made drifting fish aggregating devices (d{FAD}s) annually, many of which end up beaching in coastal areas. {H}ere, we analyzed approximately 40,000 d{FAD} trajectories in the {I}ndian {O}cean and 12,000 d{FAD} trajectories in the {A}tlantic {O}cean deployed over the decade 2008-2017 to identify where and when beachings occur. {W}e find that there is tremendous promise for reducing beaching events by prohibiting deployments in areas most likely to lead to a beaching. {F}or example, our results indicate that 21% to 40% (depending on effort redistribution after closure) of beachings can be prevented if deployments are prohibited in areas in the south of 8 degrees {S} latitude, the {S}omali zone in winter, and the western {M}aldives in summer for the {I}ndian {O}cean, and in an elongated strip of areas adjacent to the western {A}frican coast for the {A}tlantic {O}cean. {I}n both oceans, the riskiest areas for beaching are not coincident with areas of high d{FAD} deployment activity, suggesting that these closures could be implemented with relatively minimal impact to fisheries. {F}urthermore, the existence of clear hotspots for beaching likelihood and the high rates of putative recovery of d{FAD} buoys by small-scale fishers in some areas suggests that early warning systems and d{FAD} recovery programs may be effective in areas that cannot be protected via closures if appropriate incentives can be provided to local partners for participating in these programs.},
