What weighs ten tons and is no longer harming wildlife in the Gulf of Maine? That's right a giant mound of derelict fishing gear. 😱 Excellent #SundayRead from @OurOcean about the @GGGInitiative! 11thhourracing.org/goodness-…

Is #ghostgear the real kraken? 😱 Well, no. But this gear ball was sure scary. Thanks to @ourocean, @GGGInitiative, @GOMLF, @11thHour and all the amazing technical divers and fishers (including @fvhattierose) who helped remove it. @FredBever oceanconservancy.org/blog/20…

As a kid, I had such an active imagination that as soon as my feet left the diving board at my neighborhood pool I would focus on one thing and one thing only: speed-paddling to the ladder for fear...

The coastline of #NewEngland provides so much for the people and animals that depend upon them. Our partners are working hard to give back by stopping #MarineDebris the source, removing existing debris, and educating local communities. Learn more: blog.marinedebris.noaa.gov/w…

#Ghostgear balls are like tumbleweeds, explains @GOMLF’s Erin Pelletier @OurOcean @GGGInitiative removal effort, supported by @11thHourRacing. They float and travel around, collecting more and more junk, getting bigger and bigger.

Check out this new video from #GGGI participants @MoveTheWorld, @GOMLF and @NOAADebris on a #ghostgear removal project from earlier this year in the Gulf of Maine. It's great to see fishers and @GGGInitiative working together to remove lost gear and protect our oceans!

We couldn't do this without the generosity of local fishermen and their crew. Keep up the good work! teapaw.org/fvhattierose/status/59…

@EHHogan @GOMLF. We use it more than most. We need to be good stewards.

We have 65 registered for the Gear Grab community shoreline cleanup in Harpswell. Probably can accomodate about 10-15 more. If you know...
