  Ghost nets (lost, abandoned or discarded fishing nets) are the most abundant plastic in the ocean. They're also the most deadly as they carry on doing what they do they best for decades to come: catching and entangling marine life. At Tangle, we recycle end-of-life fishing nets into premium dog products. Fishing boats can donate their old nets at ports and we take them out of harms way so we can stop the ghost net problem at source. Get involved here: www.tanglemission.com Want to chat?
