Every year, over 300,00 dolphins, whales, and porpoises get killed by ghost nets and plastic pollution. As bycatch continues to endanger the lives of sea animals, in East Java, 4ocean's Bali team came up with a brilliant idea to repurpose ghost nets into a trash collector. Our team retrieved discarded fishing nets, repaired them, and added buoys so they could install them in the water. The best part is that the repurposed buoys extend in a line across rivers, stopping floating plastic debris on its way to the ocean. The following day, heaps of floating plastic were collected by the net! This simple and innovative solution is a hopeful reminder that it’s never too late to care for our oceans and rivers.
