These nets pose a serious threat for shark species around the world 🦈
In honor of #SharkWeek we wanted to show you one of the top threats sharks face - ghost nets.
Lost and abandoned fishing nets don’t only catch fish; they also entangle hundreds of other species of marine life... including sharks.
Sharks cannot easily identify ghost nets and may swim directly into them. This causes them to become trapped where their movement is restricted, and as a result, they may be unable to eat or hunt.
