Current Goal

About this item: 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.

About This Item

Cache Area

GHOST NET!

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 and check out how widespread of a problem it is.

Interesting travel bug. I did not ID it as a travel bug at first. In it's plastic Hefty bag, it looked just like trash as intended. After reading the printed tag it all made sense. I will try to get this one near a body of water to educate all finders.
