If lost on wrecks, they can also be a danger to amateur and professional divers. They contribute to pollution of the oceans with plastics \u2013 some 10% of plastics in the ocean come from ALDFG, which as sometimes referred to as <strong>&#8220;tumbleweed of the oceans&#8221;<\/strong> as it bundles up on the seabed and under certain conditions may accumulate in tangled piles, suffocating corals and other benthic marine life.<\/p>\n<p>This is why <strong>five organizations of Polish fishers, including three LIFE Members <\/strong>\u2013 Dar\u0142owska Group of Fish Producers and Fishing Boat Owners, Wolin Fishermen Association and Mierzeja Boat Fishermen Association \u2013 have embarked on a large-scale project promoted by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fundacjamare.pl\/en\/\">Fundacja Mare<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to deal with this acute problem. The retrieval actions are pursued by <strong>533 small boats<\/strong> in the 12-mile zone, coordinated by the fishers\u2019 organizations themselves and are not confined to ALDFG alone \u2013 they also include any marine litter that the fishers find during the action. They use retrieval methods having a minimal impact on the environment, particularly the seabed. Until now, a total of <strong>140 tons of ghost nets<\/strong> and other marine litter has been retrieved.<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9217 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeplatform.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_8399-e1511430604127-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"119\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeplatform.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_8399-e1511430604127-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lifeplatform.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_8399-e1511430604127-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 119px) 100vw, 119px\" \/>\u201cOver the last years, the level of societal consciousness on the marine litter problem, including ghost nets, has significantly increased.
