Save the Ocean is The Perfect World Foundation’s overall sea rescue project with campaigns such as Blue Bucket, which aims to engage everyone to help pick up plastic from our seas, along coasts and beaches, with the goal of spreading knowledge about the impact of plastic waste on our sea. Ghost Net Zero, which is their major campaign to, among other things, locate, pick up, recycle, and reuse lost fishing equipment, so-called ghost nets.<\/p>\n
Researchers estimate that there are more than 150 million tons of plastic in our oceans, and an additional 5\u201313 million tons of plastic are added each year. And as much as 80% of all plastic waste in the sea comes from our activities on land. By 2050, it is estimated that there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans, if litter continues at the same rate.<\/p>\n
Lost fishing equipment, nets and cages are the biggest contributing factor to microplastics in our oceans. Every year, more than 600,000 tonnes of fishing equipment are lost in the sea, which continues to “ghost fish” for hundreds of years, if it remains.<\/p>\n
With their Ghost Net Zero campaign, they work to spread knowledge, support innovations and activities to enable the location, salvage, recycling and reuse of lost fishing equipment, so-called ghost nets. Their vision is zero ghost nets in our oceans.<\/p>\n
