Our partner organisation the Ghost Fishing Foundation set up an excellent clean-up project in Croatia on the MS Argo (watch the wonderful video trailer of this project).

During these dives, a large trawlnet and a number of small nets were recovered, air lifted and brought to shore. Back on dry land, the team saw that there was a number of eggs attached to the nets. All eggs were carefully removed, photographed and put back in the ocean, in the area where they were found. And we got the pictures, as it was unclear what species of shark or ray the eggs were from.
