Take a look at all this abandoned fishing gear our cleanup crews in Bali recently recovered!
Ghost nets aka abandoned fishing gear, accounts for about 10% of all marine debris. Our cleanup crews around the world find ghost nets frequently during cleanup missions, and they're often filled with entangled trash.
As you can imagine, the threat of entanglement that comes from these nets can be detrimental to marine life. Ghost nets are a troubling consequence of commercial fishing, and it's a part of our mission to raise awareness on harmful fishing practices that effect marine ecosystems.
