The initiative to collect used fishing nets has been launched in Chennai to address the issue of marine pollution caused by discarded nets. This drive aims to promote responsible disposal of fishing gear to protect marine life and the environment. Fishing nets are a major source of plastic pollution in oceans, posing a threat to marine animals like turtles, dolphins, and fish. By collecting and recycling these nets, the project aims to reduce the impact of plastic waste on marine ecosystems. The campaign encourages fishermen to bring their old nets to designated collection points for proper disposal. This effort not only helps in cleaning up the oceans but also promotes sustainable fishing practices. The project is a collaboration between local authorities, environmental organizations, and fishing communities to raise awareness about the importance of preserving marine biodiversity. Proper disposal of fishing gear is crucial to prevent entanglement of marine animals and reduce the overall pollution levels in the oceans. This initiative is a step towards creating a cleaner and healthier marine environment for future generations.
