Penlee Point Plymouth

Great day, great teamwork! 😊

Today we went diving near Penlee Point, Plymouth. It was a bit rough to take the boat out any further but we made the most of the opportunity to go diving and also did some boat training. The divers retrieved a lost lobster pot and released a spider crab trapped inside and also a small lobster. They collected some mixed debris, including a weights belt.

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.
