Many underwatercreatures fall victim to a slow deathride as they get entangled in these nets. We call this "ghost fishing".
North Sea Cleanup takes care that these trapped animals we encounter in the nets are carefully being freed and put back in their environment.
There are fishingnet in many different kinds and made from varying materials. Also do these salvaged nets often contain many fishing Lines and leads coming from line fishers. They got stuck particularly in the nets. Also these Lines and pieces of lead come in our seawater, if we leave it there.
Why should we solve this problem?
The foundation North Sea Cleanup targets are, improvement of the environment in the North Sea, to recuperate old fishingnets, heavy metals and relevant waste. To recycle these materials where possible, without or with partners. Also create awareness that these waste materials need to be recuperated to create a sustainable natural environment enjoyable for everybody for long years to come. To motivate people to handle more carefull with waist in general and to simulate personal action for a cleaner environment in a wider perspective.
