Indigenous rangers pull killer ‘ghost nets’ from Australia’s northern coast
Indigenous ranger groups across northern Australia are removing tons of ghost nets and marine debris from remote coastlines, where abandoned fishing gear kills turtles, dugongs, and sharks. The Australian government committed AU$25 million over four years to continue cleanups and AU$4.5 million to prevent nets from entering the ocean. Rangers use drones and AI to locate nets faster, emphasizing the need to address the problem at its source.
