This paper presented the outline of the 2020 JSFE autumn symposium “Marine plastic issues and measures in fishing industries” held on 4 December 2021. At the symposium, there were four sessions with ten presentations: two presentations on the current state and future policies for marine plastic debris and fishing-related waste; two presentations on beach, floating, and benthic marine debris derived from fisheries; three presentations on case studies and future challenges for collecting marine debris by fisheries; three presentations on technical developments for reducing and recycling plastic waste derived from fishing industries. After the sessions, we had a general discussion about future policies for collecting marine debris by fisheries and challenges of technical development for reducing and recycling plastic waste derived from fishing industries.
