Salvage nets

Sabine Kerkau and Andrey Govorov went ghost netting off the Swedish coast for our association and the Baltic Sea Heritage Rescue Project.
The result was frightening and sad. In addition to huge numbers of nets, they also found dead seals and cod on many wrecks.
There are now plans to recover ghost nets off the Swedish coast from 2025.
