Imagine diving into crystal-clear waters, surrounded by marine life—then spotting a deadly, drifting net 🕸️ Ghost gear is fishing equipment that has been abandoned, lost, or discarded, and it continues to trap and kill long after it's forgotten. Every year, 640,000 tons(!!) of ghost gear are left behind. That’s more than the weight of 50,000 school buses drifting through marine ecosystems 🌊 This is a catastrophic problem for coral reefs and marine life across the globe, and it’s going to take collective action to solve it. From removing ghost nets to making responsible seafood choices, every effort makes a difference.

Greetings from Chicago! Our development/marketing team is soaking up the energy (and beautiful weather) at the Classy Collaborative Conference — the nonprofit conference for innovative leaders 🙌 It’s been inspiring to connect with fellow changemakers, share ideas, and learn from some of the brightest minds in the nonprofit world. As we wrap up sessions, we’re thinking about how we can continue innovating for coral reefs and all of humanity that relies on their survival 🪸 #CoralReefConservation #ClassyConference #InnovativeLeaders #Chicago #NonprofitLeadership #TogetherForReefs (fb)
