What do we do with the nets we recover?

Julian Collison

We get asked fairly regularly "what do you do with all the nets?"

Well, some of the nets get used for art projects, educational displays, jewellery and other things, and the rest ends up with the Net Regeneration scheme to be turned into things that don't kill animals.

One thing we're proud of, is we ensure to the best of our abilities that nothing we pull out of the ocean ends up back in there. Unless of course it happens to end up in the recycled plastic that becomes an Odyssey Innovation Ltd kayak.

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.
