Ghost nets kill millions of sea creatures worldwide and this B.C. example on the Fraser River highlights a largely unseen global problem. Roughly 640,000 tonnes of fishing gear is estimated lost or dumped into the world's oceans each year.

    Your private use crab trap requires a marker buoy and owner identification.
    Why in hell doesn't a commercial net?

    And five cute seals is unfortunate, but what about hundreds of lost fish, that are actually endangered?
    I think it's time to have volunteers and fisheries actively look for and retrieve lost gear and reopen the closed hatcheries for wild salmon.
