Ghost Net
Most of the plastic in the ocean come from abandoned or lost fishing gear like this ghost net!
The more fish get caught on that net, more fish will get attracted to it because of the smell. And it will continue to kill fish for a long time.
That picture intended to show the real face of that problem, the face of the dying animals, and to bring to the "table" the discussion of how much does your sea food really cost!
Over the past centuries all the mysteries and lack of knowledge about what is that huge mass of water that forms our planet, humanity get distanced from the seas. And with that distance we still have hard time to love and protect not only the waters but also the animals that lives in there.
My goal is to bring part of the ocean to the people, and I use my photos to do that!

entry description
We went out to shoot a free dive video and when approaching this island, that supposed to be a preserved park, we saw this floating net alone and attached to the rocks.Most of the plastic in the ocean come from abandoned or lost fishing gear like this ghost net!
The more fish get caught on that net, more fish will get attracted to it because of the smell. And it will continue to kill fish for a long time.
