imagine spending your entire life trapped in a ghost net. (like a lobster in a discarded trap) there are literally billions of kilometers of abandoned nets on the ocean floor worldwide. #ghostnets

Our #ROV surveys in Lesvos continue, revealing breathtaking #gorgonian forests—but not without a stark reminder of human impact. #Ghostnets and abandoned longlines haunt these vibrant ecosystems.

Retrieving abandoned nets from shallow waters is critical to halt the continuous "ghost fishing" that kills marine life, destroys fragile coastal ecosystems like coral reefs and seagrass beds, and prevents the creation of microplastics. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #GhostNets

An estimated 640,000 to 800,000 tons of fishing gear are lost annually, accounting for at least 10% of all plastic pollution and 70% of all macroplastics by weight in our oceans. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #GhostNets #FishingGear #Recovery

When we locate lost or discarded fishing gear, we recover the ghost gear wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems. We then research and safely dispose of or recycle this material. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #GhostNets #FishingGear #Recovery

A whale caught in crab nets is fighting for her life on the Oregon Coast near Yachats, with so many people rushing there before official help arrives at dawn. The whale is vocalizing distress, asking for help. It's devastating. We have to find a way to stop entanglements. Unconscionable.

Ghost nets don’t just disappear—they trap marine life and fuel climate change.

Chowder weather. Yum! Thanks to the crew @MossBeachDistillery, an official California Point of Historical Interest and former speakeasy. And since we’re hunting for #GhostNets later, we’ll keep an eye out for the "Blue Lady" apparition! #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Ghost nets also drift and snag on coral reefs and entangle wildlife – these discarded nets result in damage to coral reefs – they break, shade, and abrade coral, preventing them from healthy growth. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #GhostNets #FishingGear #Recovery

Storms can drive ghost nets ashore, creating an opportunity to remove them more easily than in deep water. Shallows and land recovery lower the risk for divers, without the need for boats or scuba gear. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #GhostNets #ALDFG

Here is another #BirdOfTheDay with #WingsOpenNotFlying, again with a story: a juvenile Northern gannet (Morus bassanus), Basstölpel, practicing flying on the cliffs of Helgoland. In the background ghostnets, which gannets often collect as nesting material - and later die strangeled in it

Ghost gear accounts for at least 10% of all marine litter and comprises approximately 46% of the #GreatPacificGarbagePatch. Estimates are that #GhostNets kill at least 136,000 seals, sea lions, and large whales annually, in addition to countless other species. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Ghost nets and microplastics make ocean cleanup incredibly difficult; nets are massive and hard to collect, while microplastics are too small to filter efficiently. Both forms of pollution pose distinct threats, requiring different, often costly, solutions for removal. #GhostNets #Microplastics

Ghost nets are abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing nets that significantly threaten marine life. They entangle and kill whales and dolphins, as well as sharks and sea turtles. Ghost nets also contribute to microplastic and microfiber pollution. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #GhostNets

These massive, tangled piles of plastic netting and ropes trapped and killed marine life indiscriminately. Once pulled from the water, we can recycle and upcycle this plastic into sustainable goods. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Upcycle #Plastic #GhostNets

Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is most deadly form marine debris.
A single abandoned net is estimated to kill an average of
500,000 marine invertebrates, 1,700 fish and 4 seabirds. #WhaleEntanglement
