I had a brilliant email from Countryfile regarding our latest ghost gear retrieval that I'd like to share with the team: "Just want to say a huge thanks for your time and efforts on Thursday. I know it was challenging to bring divers together at late notice, and we’re really grateful they could make it – they did a great job! Your interview was great, we’re really chuffed with how that part of the film went, thank you for making it all happen . Please pass my thanks on to the divers!

I hope the broadcast will introduce other people to what you’re all doing. (Sunday 11th June, BBC One!)" Please tune in this upcoming Sunday and well done, you're an awesome team:)

Fathoms Free is a group of volunteer divers who protect marine wildlife and the environment for everyone's benefit by removing ALDFG (abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear) and other marine debris from the coastal waters of Cornwall and Devon.

ALDFG is also known as ghost gear or ghost fishing gear, as it continues to "fish," entangling, trapping, and killing wildlife indiscriminately. These trapped animals will die and act as bait, attracting more wildlife in a vicious cycle of death until the ghost gear is removed from the environment.
