Bio-based and biodegradable nets could be the solution to 'ghost nets' jeopardizing sea life

quot;Ghost nets" are nets that have been either accidentally or deliberately lost, abandoned or discarded in the marine environment. While these nets and other derelict or abandoned fishing gear no longer serve any purpose for the fishing industry, the nets continue to entangle fish and other marine animals. This can have devastating effects on marine ecosystems.
