Fishing nets & plastic bottles

Fishing nets and plastic bottles are two major sources of pollution in our oceans.

They not only destroy marine life, but also have a negative impact on the wholesome health of our planet.

Fishing nets, also known as ghost nets, are dropped and lost nets that continue to trap and kill marine life. These nets can be made of various materials, including .. yes! plastic, again!

Nets made of plastic are particularly critical, because they don’t biodegrade and bye that, continue to trap marine life for many years.

Plastic bottles, on the other hand, are a major source of plastic pollution in our oceans. They can take hundreds of years to degrade and are often mistaken as food by marine animals, leading to injury or death.

Both fishing nets and plastic bottles are a danger to marine life and the health of our oceans. It is more than urgent that the industry and the governments, as well as individuals, take steps to reduce their use and properly dispose of these items.

This can include using more sustainable materials for fishing nets, increasing recycling efforts for plastic bottles, and supporting clean-up efforts in our oceans.

Additionally, supporting and promoting conservation efforts, such as marine protected areas, can help to mitigate the impact of fishing nets and plastic bottles on marine life. Ultimately, we all have a responsibility to protect our oceans and the life they support.
