Healthy Seas, a nonprofit that works to remove waste from the seas, recently teamed up with divers to remove lost fishing gear and other debris at a site where a pre-World War II destroyer was sunk for a movie.
"Every year, we lose thousands and thousands of pounds of nets, and those nets are made of plastic and nylons, so they will have a life expectancy of 45 years to as much as 600 years," said Hamza.
This is often called"ghost fishing" because nets appear invisible in the water and marine life can get trapped."In the state of Washington, because it's an estuary, they don't have an open coastline like we do here," said Hamza."What will happen is the fisherman will have 24 hours to report the missing nets. We don't have that in California."They will be turned into products such as socks and swimwear.
