Yesterday was awesome in the Azores I took part in the Marine Biologist for a Day with Futurismo Azores Adventures - it was amazing (Atl. Spotted & Bottlenose🐬 & Sperm 🐋)
We also helped retrieve a Ghost Net from the water which needed three boats as it was too heavy for our rib #ghostnets

Fishing nets lost or abandoned at sea are a threat to the health of the seas and oceans. In addition to trapping and suffocating countless marine lives, they also severely damage underwater habitats

The horror of ghost nets: this #dolphin lived for a long time with its snout entangled in discarded fishing tackle - it sawed almost all the way through the bone before the dolphin eventually died.

The scariest thing today are ghost nets (lost and abandoned fishing nets) entangling sea turtles, whales, dolphins, and porpoises, as well as sharks, seals, and seabirds. The nets also damage coral reef habitat.

Ghost nets: a constant form of danger and a threat to biodiversity.

Een after being abandoned, they continue to indiscriminately fish and kill sea turtles, fish, cetaceans and even birds.

Ghostnet and ghostgear collection is ongoing. Ghostnets kill indiscriminately and Vaquita die in ghost nets too.

So why aren’t their ongoing coordinated efforts that were $500,000 funded by NOAA Marine Debris Program

Irresponsible and illegal fishing can have dire effects on #OurOcean 😢
