At the weekend, our team made the most of the weather window and carried out a recovery of ghost gear from the south coast of Cornwall.
During two dives, volunteers recovered a variety of ALDFG from the wreck of the Dolphin and adjacent reef in Mounts Bay, Penzance. Various pots, creels, and ropes, along with a bundle of net, were recovered by the team on Saturday.
The abandoned and lost fishing gear was discovered by one of our volunteer divers, Jim, during a BSAC - British Sub-Aqua Club club dive with Peninsula Sub Aqua Club, that he was dive managing the weekend before.
Another great result by our volunteers, resulting in less ALDFG in the marine environment posing a threat to marine life.
As always, if you value what we do for the marine environment, please like and share our posts to continue to support and raise awareness of our work.
