Comments and Feedback
Ghost Net is a serious threat, we will continue to survey and remove any. We would like to suggest Project AWARE on creating survey reports for Ghost Nets along with recommendation guidelines on removing and all of the process.
This site is exposed to tidal current. A well plan dive require for safe diving during removal.
