For thousands of years, humans have been fishing the seemingly endless supply of fish in the world's oceans to sustain our ever-growing population. However, modern fishing techniques can wipe out entire fish populations, and now we see the effects of that sustained pressure. Also, when this fishing gear becomes too old to be effective, it's not disposed properly or is simply cut loose into the open ocean, only to end up as a dangerous hazard for countless other marine animal species like whales, sea turtles, porpoises, and sharks. Through our partnership with @sea_legacy, we're pulling a pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines as well as contributing to the mission of creating healthy and abundant oceans for all of us.
