This episode is about dangerous ghost-net recovery operations in the Baltic Sea.
Michael Herzog speaks with Sabine Kerkau, technical wreck diver and President of the Baltic Sea Nature & Heritage Protection Association e.V., about recovering ghost nets from wrecks in the Baltic Sea.
We talk about poor visibility, cold water, depth, risk, teamwork, cooperation with fishers, and the question of what happens to the nets after recovery.
For Redes Fantasma, this episode offers an important look at the end of the chain: recovery remains necessary, but prevention, location technology and faster retrieval of lost fishing gear must start earlier.
