Ghost Net Problem

  1. About 46% of Pacific garbage islands (plastic straws 0.03%)

  2. About 10% of the world's marine plastic waste

  3. 640,000 tons per year worldwide / 440,000 tons per year in Korea

Abandoned fishing nets, also known as ghost nets, have claimed the lives of countless marine life.

About 10% of Korea’s annual catch of marine life is killed or injured by ghost nets, and accidents caused by waste nets account for 13% of the total maritime accidents with 300 accidents a year.
