Dead Fish Entangled in Ghost Fishing Gear | Indian Ocean

An entangled fish that appears to have died in a floating mass of fishing net, line, hooks and other debris. Photographed in the Indian Ocean. Discarded and lost fishing nets, along with associated gear, wreak havoc on marine life throughout the world. Lethal ghost nets and fishing gear like this float for hundreds, even thousands of kilometers, entangling and killing fish, sea birds, turtles, whales and many other ocean residents.
