"Ghost fishing gear" has become a marine disaster, which has seriously deteriorated the marine environment
On November 6, 2021, local time, in Izmir, Turkey, divers cleaned up discarded "ghost fishing gear" in local waters to ensure the safety of ship navigation and protect marine animals and marine ecological environment.
"Ghost fishing gear" refers to all kinds of fishing devices such as discarded, lost and discarded fishing nets and fishing lines. According to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, "ghost fishing gear" abandoned in the ocean causes at least hundreds of thousands of deaths of marine animals such as whales, dolphins, seals, turtles and other marine animals every year, making it even more difficult to count the number of marine creatures that are harmed. At the same time, the "ghost fishing gear" that sinks into the seabed will change the living environment of the microorganisms on the seabed, causing a negative impact on the marine benthic organisms. The tiny sediments carried by the "ghost fishing gear" can clog coral reef crevices, causing local hypoxia and causing the death of marine life.
