ADEX Sabah: Uniting forces to tackle ghost nets
Ghost nets, abandoned or lost fishing nets, pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems, entangling and endangering numerous species.
The “Ghost Net Hunters – 23 Hours” initiative at ADEX Sabah will bring together a dedicated team of experienced divers who will strive to remove as many ghost nets as possible within a continuous 23-hour period.
This ambitious attempt not only aims to set a new world record but also highlights the commitment of the diving community and environmental enthusiasts to preserving the marine environment.
