aMoment Drop #6 by aMoment Melbourne on Pozible. Out of the shark net | G-Online, the best of green. Kate found this shark net while doing a Clean Up Australia Day dive a couple of years ago at North Bondi. No shark net was ever reported as lost in the area, but it's a good thing Kate was there to retrieve it so it didn't become another 'ghost net'.

Credit: Kate Kilgour By Kate Kilgour, G guest blogger Ten years ago I watched some footage of a family of sperm whales entangled in a gill net in the Mediterranean Sea. Gill nets, like the one wrapped around this pod of sperm whales, are simple contraptions. Gill nets are illegal in most parts of the world for innumerable reasons. This is why I cannot fathom the continued use of gill nets as a method of reducing shark populations, thus keeping Australians ‘safe’ from terrifying man-eaters like 'Jaws' (please... nothing could be further from the truth!). Whether you like them or not, we need sharks. Shark nets are nothing more than a fallacy, set every summer to put people’s minds at ease - people unfortunately who don’t know better.
