A volunteer recovering ghost net fragments washed ashore during the stormy weather

Abandoned, Lost, Discarded, Fishing gear (ALDF) recovered and piled on the rocks to be removed

Ghost gear accounts for at least 10% of all marine litter and comprises approximately 46% of the #GreatPacificGarbagePatch. Estimates are that #GhostNets kill at least 136,000 seals, sea lions, and large whales annually, in addition to countless other species. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

The Great Pacific Cleanup: Weighing the Benefits of Removing Ocean Plastic A new study examines how cleaning up the North Pacific Garbage Patch would benefit marine life – but at what cost to the climate?

The #GreatPacificGarbagePatch is a sprawling mass of #PlasticPollution approx. 3x the size of France. A landmark study assesses whether large-scale ocean cleanups like the #GPGP deliver a net environmental benefit: pml.ac.uk/news/the-gre...

ErNandy vor 15 Std. • @ernandy@mstdn.social ••• No one talks about the garbage island in the Pacific. But it's larger than France, Germany, and Spain combined. And it's leaking toxic chemicals into the fish you eat.
