Ending the Invisible Threat 🌊👻
Ghost fishing isn't a myth; it's the haunting reality of abandoned nets and gear that continue to trap marine life long after the fishermen are gone. These "silent killers" drift through our oceans, indiscriminately catching everything from sea turtles to ancient corals. It’s time we shine a light on this invisible cycle of destruction and advocate for better gear tracking and recovery programs.
Let’s stop the haunt and protect our blue planet. ---
