A Lucky Catch: The Bob Barker’s First Ghost Net

The Bob Barker, a ship used for marine conservation, accidentally retrieved its first ghost net while resupplying in the Sea of Cortez. Ghost nets are lost fishing gear that continue to harm marine life, trapping creatures like fish, turtles, and dolphins. The crew secured the net, highlighting the ongoing problem of these deadly traps in the ocean. As Sea Shepherd extends its operations in partnership with the Mexican Navy, they aim to remove more of these nets to protect marine life. The organization emphasizes the need for support to continue their mission of removing these threats from the water.
