We have been seeing massive fishing net globs come ashore for the past few years on the Big Island of Hawaii. It's getting worse. My boys and I personally dragged a large chunk ashore this past year. They are extremely heavy and take a lot of work to move and dispose of all the netting. Here's the image: https://imgur.com/12U4FXg https://imgur.com/12U4FXg
This is the latest, the largest tangle of net researchers have seen wash ashore.

- citation_please 9y agoThis might be off-topic WRT the linked article, but I just wanted to take the time to say that I admire that you did this with your sons. If I become a parent I want to also instill the value of leaving behind a wake of improvement to our environment and communities, even if it's just picking up a piece of trash that would otherwise sit there until it decomposes.
- masklinn 9y agoSo this is basically a shower drain hairs clog, except made up of fishing nets & lines? I can believe that's heavy and hard work, hair clogs are already surprisingly difficult to get out & untangle (aside from being disgusting). The tangle looks surprisingly clean though, are they mostly recent disposals?
