All About Ghost Nets

You know what the scariest thing in the sea is??

Hint: it's not alive.....

Not sharks, not barracudas, not eels or stingrays...

In fact, just like every major ocean threat, it comes from the land.

If you said "ghost nets" -- you got it!!!!!!!

But, if you're like "what on Earth are ghost nets?"

Well, ghost nets are abandoned fishing gear that lay "dead" in the ocean, trapping unsuspecting marine life. In 2018, ghost nets were responsible for killing nearly 650,000 marine animals.

Even if animals are lucky enough to escape, they may still die from injuries. Often these circumstances cause a long and painful death.
