Ghost Fishing Net | Pollution | Indian Ocean

A tangle of fishing nets, lines, hooks and other garbage found floating in the Indian Ocean. There was a small community of fish associated with this trash, but also fish that had been entangled and killed. Discarded and lost fishing nets, along with associated gear, wreak havoc on marine life, floating for hundreds, even thousands of kilometers while entangling fish, sea birds, turtles, whales and many other ocean residents.
