Comments and Feedback
abandoned Fishing net in the ocean is one of the most important factor injures marine life and damages critical habitats On 18 April during scuba diving we found a big fishing net that a large number of aquatic animals had been trapped inside. we started to release all aquatic animals including fish ,crab ...in the next dive we removed all fishing nets including Buoys and net completely. Some fish were going to die. we hope to have better environment under the sea and save our planet.
