Every single day our professional cleanup crews around the world find thousands of pounds of ghost nets. Ghost fishing nets are the deadliest type of plastic pollution in our oceans. Not only do they pose as a huge entanglement for marine life, but they can also harm critical marine ecosystems. Ghost gear can smother seagrass beds and break, shade, and abrade coral, which prevents healthy growth and introduces diseases, all of which makes these critical marine ecosystems extra vulnerable to other threats like climate change. Help us combat the ghost net pollution crisis by purchasing the Ghost Net Awareness Bracelet, available at the link in our bio.
