Nov 6,2023 5:11 pm

A pregnant minke whale was found tangled in a Fishing net in Orkney in October of last year

More Than half a million tons of Fishing gear estimated to be lost or abandoned every year in the seas and oceans. Some of it ensnares and kills wildlife in The Sea and on Land.

conservationists call it "ghost gear".

It includes Fishing nets, long lines, fish traps and lobster pots on the left drifting at sea after it accidentally, a loss of fish or boats, or discarded, in an emergency, such as in a storm.

"catch device is used to collect marine organisms, and can continue to do so Long After the equipment was lost or thrown away in The Sea ," said Joel Baziuk, the global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI).

"If it considers lost Fishing gear catching fish, after its intended life-span, it is Fishing as a ghost to. "

The Whale , the body came ashore in the vicinity of Scrabster

He ghost Gang said the damaging was most the form of debris to marine life, because of The Risk of entanglement or entanglement.

GGGI is estimated that a minimum of 640,000 tonnes of Fishing gear are lost or abandoned each year.

The hotspots include The Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia and Hawaii in The Pacific .

Joel says: "Ghost gear is a problem everywhere, Fishing , and Scotland . "

The five-week-old grey seal pup was successfully rescued after again and again in a plastic-mesh

The risks of this ocean pollution for wildlife include entanglement, if The Animals get wrapped up in a rope and other equipment.

In Scotland , the Scottish Marine animal Strandings-System (Smass), which examines the marine animal deaths, recorded 12-entanglement cases in the year 2019.

included in the October. The grid was clamped in The Animal 's baleen, the filter feeder system in the mouth.

In may, near to Scrabster, near Thurso on the North Caithness coast.

The previous month, another Humpback Whale was found, it was before it drowned off the coast of East Lothian in the vicinity of Tyningham.

What are The Other risks? A 100kg "throw-ball" found himself in the belly of The Whale is stranded in Harris

entanglement is the only threat to whales.

A Sperm Whale that died after stranding on The Isle of Harris in November, a 100kg "throw-ball" in his stomach.

The Fishing -nets, rope, packing, belts, bags, and cups, were among the discovered items in a compacted mass, during an investigation of Smass.

seals caught in nets and ropes were, although it is successful in these animals,

saves A hotline operated by British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) received 47 reports of entangled seals this year in the UK. Some of The Animals were lucky and were rescued or managed to get free.

Other Ghost gear victims are animals that feed on coastal lines.

In the year 2017, deer on The Isle of Rum were found with Fishing gear caught in their antlers. Two of The Animals died after the rope snarled together in a discarded Fishing , while another deer was photographed with an orange buoy and rope clenched in his antlers.

Even small fragments of ghost gear is a risk, say conservationists.

Noel Hawkins, the Scottish Wildlife Trust Living Seas project, says: "Some of the little things that can be so devastating for The Animal world, such as many seabirds swallow you think it is to eat fish or eggs.

"you choke, and even as a nest material that jeopardizes the Chicks. "

Scotland , the gearbox also plays its role in the global efforts to combat the spirit.

In a GGGI project, divers from The Ghost Fishing UK-the initiative of clean-ups in Orkney have been carried out under water.

BDMLR, meanwhile, is part of the Scottish entanglement Alliance (Sea), a coalition of conservation groups, rescue teams and Fishing .

The Coalition is seeking to avoid, the best practices, the entanglements and The Most effective responses to all incidents.

This year, The Alliance has trained 20 people work in The Fishing industry in Scotland , to unravel How To help The Animals .

Public Agency Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), which is involved in The Sea , describes The Ghost Gang as a "huge international problem".

fisheries policy and advice manager David Donnan said: "Fishing device that is lost, can continue to be a threat, with ropes and netting are The Most common sources of animal entanglement.

"to combat this Problem, SNH has, in cooperation with partners, including fishermen to increase awareness and help to develop solutions. "

And there are success stories. In October BDMLR helped a hump-of-Fishing -ropes in Orkney.

New technologies, such as prawn creels, which can be lowered into The Sea , and returned to The Surface , without the need for rope is also tested.

What is going on in Scotland ? While tons of marine litter is free from Scotland 's coast, conservationists much to warn more of The Scottish Fishermen's Federation, remains floating on The Sea

The stations are attached to a large pallet boxes with litter pickers and bags, and the members of The Public to walk along The Beaches , and to encourage, in order to collect the usage of the stations, not the garbage you find.

The Project says Noel Hawkins: "this is to the North of Ullapool Dun Canna beach has taken over a ton of garbage alone. "

In July , tons of garbage was removed from the Summer Isles in the north west Highlands in another project, the clean-ups.

Fishing ropes and nets were among The Other elements, which says the clean-up

But Noel: "It is important to remember that some estimates think only 3% to 5% of the garbage actually comes to the country, if.
