Together with volunteers, ecoduikers undoes wrecks in the Belgian North Sea of lost fishing nets (ghost fishing), fishinhglines and lead.
The nets are recycled to include swimwear and socks.

Ghost Fishing is what fishing gear does when it has been lost, dumped or abandoned. Nets, long lines, fish traps or any man made contraptions designed to catch fish or marine organisms are considered capable of ghost fishing when unattended, and without anyone profiting from the catches, they are affecting already depleted commercial fish stocks. Caught fish die and in turn attract scavengers which will get caught in that same net, thus creating a vicious circle.

In the past years we removed over 2,5 tons of nets of Wrecks in the Belgian North Sea.
