Harmful waste fishing gear removed from shipwreck off Brighton coast

ALMOST 200kg of deadly fishing gear has been recovered from the seabed off the coast of Brighton. Scuba divers reported the discarded fishing nets found on a shipwreck, which can harm marine life and lead to more plastic pollution. Known as ghost gear , lost or abandoned nets and pots mean animals can become trapped and act as bait for other creatures, leading to a non-stop cycle of wasteful deaths , according to Ghost Fishing UK. The charity aims to prevent ghost fishing and has teamed up with Sussex Wildlife Trust to remove ghost gear in the area, as part of the Wild Coast Sussex project.
