Abandoned plastic fishing nets are floating around Rügen in the Baltic Sea or are caught on shipwrecks lying on the seabed there. They are a life-threatening threat to all marine life. The Society for Rescue of the Delphine e.V. has been carrying out rescue operations on a regular basis since 2019 to collect and lift ghost nets. To support this important work, we have developed an exclusive special edition together with GEO magazine: The ProMare Date GEO Charity.
