鬼网
Do you believe in ghost nets? When it comes to destructive marine debris, nothing is quite as ominous as the dreaded ghost net. The term ghost net described fishing nets which have been lost at sea drifting in the current, or become tangled on corals reefs, and unfortunately long after they are lost continue to ensnare and kill animals.
幽灵网通常非常大且重型,单个水肺潜水员或好友团队不可能拆除。看到鬼网和感到无助的知道它将继续杀死并且无法对此做任何事情,这真是令人心碎。
Recently a ghost net in the Cayman Island Caribbean was discovered by dive instructor Dominick Martin-Mayes and is a sobering reminder of the destruction these nets can cause long after they are lost.
As you can see from the size it is a monumental and dangerous task to remove a ghost next. You should never get close to a ghost net of this size without carrying knives or scissors, and you should always have at least one person supervising divers to help out in case of entanglement.
幽灵网不开玩笑。
When I arrive in Nusa Lembongan island I was asked to join a retrieval party with Blue Corner Dive Shop,Blue Corner Marine Research团队和海军陆战队Megafauna基金会的志愿者前往去除危险的幽灵网。虽然不如开曼人的网,但在我们进入水之前,该网仍然需要十人组成的团队进行删除和一些仔细的计划。
My role was the safety support and to document the removal. Four people were assigned to cutting the net, while another was snorkeling above relaying communication to the boat.
On board two of our strongest guys were tasked with hauling the behemoth net into the boat, and the skippers had an equally important role keeping the boat from pulling away from the net. They also served as an extra set of hand with the bulk of the net made its way on board.
Underwater our main concern was with divers becoming entangled in the net, especially behind the back of the net drifting into the current. As we removed the net and cut away webbings from corals, you could hear a spooky popping sounds of nylon strands snapping under pressure.
Our goal was to cut away the bulk of the net first, and then tackle the remaining net which was entangled in theAcropora和Galaxeacoral below. The whole ordeal lasted just over 40 minutes and thankfully no one was hurt or tangled in the net.
我们从Nusa Penida Island前面的SD潜水地点删除了该网。
