Divers recover 1 5 tonnes of discarded fishing gear around isles shetlandtimes.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from shetlandtimes.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
THE CHARITY which came to Shetland last week to retrieve lost fishing gear from the sea says it recovered 1,500kg of equipment. This included a trawl net from the wreck of the sunken fishing boat Froach Ban, and many creels. Ghost Fishing UK brought up 12 divers to Shetland.
A NATIONAL charity has nearly completed its first visit to the isles to gather up ‘ghost gear’ – fishing gear that has been abandoned, lost or discarded in the water. Ghost Fishing UK was founded in 2015 and is run entirely by volunteers who dedicate their time to removing.
