28/29th June 19 - What a cracking weekend spent diving with ‘Neptune’s Army of Rubbish Cleaners’ from Pembrokeshire. 😁

Diving from Falmouth at the Stanwood, Epsilon, Rick Island Bridge and again the Epsilon. Plenty of fishing related litter to clear.

3 dumpy bags full were retrieved but unfortunately having spent a long time in the sea, most of it is not suitable for recycling as it’s either contaminated or mixed with non recyclable materials but its out of the sea, thanks to this amazing bunch of divers. Great teamwork and huge thanks to Mark and Ruth at Atlantic Scuba with their boat Moonshadow. Good work everyone !

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.
