BBC's Planet Earth III did not disappoint this evening. Angel sharks hunting horned sharks. orcas hunting mobulids, Columbus crabs moving from ghostfishing gear to loggerhead sea turtles, and the bycatch issues arising from sealions learning to depredate Chilean purseines. 🦑🌍🐬🐢🦈🐳🐟

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.

"no more space on the boat-millions of tons thrown back dead or wounded-the scars on the seabed-& if there is no one there there is still ghostfishing-nets abandoned in the sea they continue through the centuries to catch-mammals fish shellfish–we die". From 'Deep Water Trawling' #BookologyThursday

🐢 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!

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 🥴
