📼 WEBINAR RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE!

Last week, we hosted a webinar on fishing gear marking together with our partners KIMO International and Havs- och vattenmyndigheten. Marked fishing gear is a crucial step in protecting marine ecosystems from lost fishing gear

#GhostFishing

Same area, but now with the pressure visible: longlines, ropes and other fishing gear litter entangling gorgonians and covering the seabed. Chronic ghost fishing and structural damage that we urgently need to address.

🐢 SEA TURTLE RESCUE! 🐢
450km from land in Bay of Bengal, we found 2 sea turtles trapped in a ghost net. Our crew quickly freed both turtles & retrieved the dangerous net. Two lives saved, one less threat in our oceans!

Ghost fishing for Positive News magazine: I joined @ghostfishinguk.bsky.social divers off Brighton as they recovered abandoned nets still trapping marine life. Grateful to Emma Critchley + Sam Haddad @patagonia.com #GhostFishing #MarineConservation #OceanCleanup

Hauling these 2 buoys over the rocks and off the beach yesterday in the rain was no fun!!! #BeachFinds #buoys #oceanplastic #litterpicking #ghostfishing #beachcleanup

100,000 animals die from entanglement in fishing nets each year... And those are just the animals scientists find. 

Good thing I'm already dead. And Dorothy too. Meteorite > fishing net suffocation 🥴
