This fine coin went missing. Now it is a Painted Wood Disk Travel Bug. It wants to go to OCEANS!!! It wants to spread the word about GHOST NETS!!!!!!
What is a ghost net??? They are fishing nets that have been lost accidentally, deliberately discarded, or simply abandoned at sea. They travel the oceans of the world with the currents and tides continually fishing as they progress through the waters. As they are unattended and roaming, they fish indiscriminately, not only catching threatened species but undersized and protected fish as well. It is a real problem. In the old days the nets were made of twine and ropes. They would decompose after awhile. Now they are made of nylon which just goes on and on to fish for years and years. Do a web search for more information.

When fish get stuck in the Ghost Net they attract other fish that get caught and attract more fish. It is a very bad cycle of death.

Entschuldige bitte diesen Einheitslog.
Ich habe deinen TB entdeckt - in einem Cache oder auf einem Event..
Ich hole nun auf, was die letzten Monate liegen blieb und kann mich nicht mehr an jeden TB erinnern. :/
Dennoch hat es mich gefreut, deinen TB discovern zu können. :)

Rather fitting that this GC coin has been left here in this coast line GC. Many years ago the sea was held back by land. Sadly that has washed away and it seems to be continuing. A real sadness about the ghost nets.

Hi. We had a GCer meet up at the Bridge pub in Newcastle. I took this nice sized TB to move on in the future.

Catching up on logging some trackables I've run across over the last year. Could have been at Geowoodstock, HQ, or somewhere near. Thanks for sending this out and the discovery.
