Entrepreneurs aim to end ghostfishing
A small device, developed in Norway, will now be used in the battle against environmentally-unfriendly ghost fishing caused by lost or forgotten fishing gear.
Fishing nets have long lifetimes and can cause major damage to marine life if they are abandoned at sea. There are examples of lost nets that have continued to trap fish for periods of up to 30 years.
Ghost fishing by lost or forgotten pots kills thousands of lobsters and crabs every year.
