Diving to remove ghost nets in Sri Lanka.
(lemmy.ca)
Removing ghost nets caught on reefs near Negombo, Sri Lanka. A day of bad visibility made worse when moving the nets.

But.. but then what will stop the ghosts from attacking the fish???
(Seriously, though, getting rid of those nets is a very good thing.)
Lots of things get caught and die in them and as strange as it sounds you can smell or maybe taste the rot underwater.
Yeah, I'm familiar enough to understand how bad they are. It must be grueling work, but it's good that you're doing it.
Definitely worth it.
