Healthy Seas is actively working to combat the problem of ghost nets through a combination of removal, education and prevention . We collaborate with volunteer divers and fishing communities to retrieve lost and abandoned fishing nets from the ocean, reefs and wreck sites, to prevent further harm to marine life.
In addition to these cleanup efforts, we focus on raising awareness and educating the public about the issue of ghost gear, its causes and solutions. We work together with fishing communities, setting up disposal points for ghost nets , to prevent them ending up in the sea. A key part of our mission is also to implement circular solutions to the problem of ghost nets and ghost gear which can be used to create new products turning waste into value…
