Destructive ghost nets threaten not only cetaceans and pinnipeds, but can also smother coral reefs and fish. On Maui, Pacific Whale Foundation is the dedicated Marine Debris Rapid Response organization. Last week we responded to a large ghost net on the shores of Waihe’e beach. The team with the help of our partner, @hilandtrust removed 1,281 pounds of net that otherwise could have threatened marine life!
