Thanks. It was a shame to see how many dead spider conchs were trapped in these 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.

[-] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Definitely worth it.

This one is the wrong size, the ghosts were slipping through.
