In an initiative to promote environmental sustainability and marine conservation, a drive has been launched to collect used fishing nets in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The campaign aims to address the issue of ghost nets, discarded or lost fishing gear that poses a serious threat to marine life. The drive is being organized by local authorities in collaboration with environmental organizations and fishing communities. By collecting these used nets, the campaign seeks to prevent them from further harming marine ecosystems and wildlife. Ghost nets can entangle marine animals such as turtles, dolphins, and seabirds, leading to injury or death. The initiative also aims to raise awareness among fishermen about the importance of responsible fishing practices and proper disposal of fishing gear. This drive is part of a larger effort to promote sustainable fishing practices and protect the marine environment in India. It reflects a growing recognition of the need to conserve marine resources and preserve biodiversity for future generations. Through such initiatives, local communities and authorities can work together to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly fishing industry.
