The seabed, in fact, are full of\u00a0abandoned or accidentally lost<\/strong>\u00a0nets<\/strong> that represent one of the biggest threat for the ecosystem. They represent a danger for marine life<\/strong>, because animals get trapped and choke. Moreover, time after time, they degrade in small pieces, the microplastics, which are ingested by animals.<\/p>\n

In 2009, UNEP and FAO have estimated that every year about 640,000 tonnes of ghost nets are abandoned or lost<\/strong> in the oceans – and probably the number today is even higher. More recent studies have instead found that the weight of the ghost nets represents between 46% and 70% of all the macroplastic in our seas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”9016,9015,9014,9013,9012,9011,9010″ flickity_spacing=”default” flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_wrap_around=”wrap” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” onclick=”link_image” flickity_img_height=”300″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”3%” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Regarding the Mediterranean, this phenomenon is larger inside the Marine Protected Areas<\/strong>, especially in the A areas, parts of the sea that enjoy maximum protection in order to ensure the repopulation of the sea.

Cecina<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Scuba Diving Division has checked the Secca di Vada’s seabeds, in the north of Cecina, to clean up the area polluted not only by ghost nets but even by tyres and plastic waste.
