We often read about how straws and clear bags are damaging marine life and polluting our oceans — and while that is completely true — ghost gear is the lesser known yet one of the most dangerous types of human waste haunting our waters.

Ghost gear is lost and discarded fishing gear, commonly known as ghost nets, that end up silently killing and damaging marine life. This process is known as ghost fishing.

If you want more information on the current state of ghost gear, take a look at this recent in-depth report from the World Animal Protection. In it, the organization explores the impact of ghost gear on our oceans and the role commercial fishing plays on this issue.
