A lost trammel net, just as active and dangerous to marine life (and divers) as if it weren't lost... what a mess. #ghostdiving #ghostfishing #ghostgear #spain #costabrava #fisheries @ghostdivinges @ghostdivingorg @healthyseas_org @HyundaiEurope

Diving is only 1 part of what we do!๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿชผ After #ghostnets are sent up, we need to separate them๐Ÿ˜ณWhy? Because #ghostgear can catch ghost gear and we're left with a huge bundle of mixed materials๐ŸงTo be able to re- & upcycle any of it, they need to be sorted manually first ๐Ÿ’ช

Shallow retrieval #missions aren't always easy! ๐Ÿ˜… It took 3 dives over several days to recover the whole net from a #reef in the #RedSea ๐Ÿค˜ It was located directly on the edge of the reef flat to the drop off to deeper waters & completely entangled in #corals! ๐Ÿชธ@healthyseas_org

๐Ÿค”Weโ€™re thinking about #longlines ๐ŸŽฃ Shorter, hooked branch lines are attached at one main line which can be multiple #kilometers in length! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ That means #thousands of hooks can hang from a single line! ๐Ÿ’ฅ Sharks, albatross, turtles & dolphins can get caught in long lines ๐Ÿฌ
