GHOST GEAR IN OUR OCEANS

-

640,000 tons of trash in our oceans is known as “ghost gear," abandoned, lost or damaged fishing equipment that sheds microplast­ics and can kill or seriously injure marine life that becomes entangled in it. Until this year, fishers weren’t allowed to pull it from the oceans. cangeo.ca/best20/ghostgear
