8+ Tons of Derelict Fishing Gear Removed From Ocean
July 5, 2024
Working alongside ‘Namgis First Nation, Emerald Sea Protection Society, and Pacific Pro Dive, Double Bay Sanctuary’s team helped remove over 8 tons of derelict fishing gear from North Bay in Double Bay. Clearing this material reduces entanglement risk and supports healthier coastal ecosystems for marine life and seabirds. It’s a strong example of what becomes possible when partners move together with shared responsibility and long-term commitment.
