BRACENET - Save the Seas. Wear a Net - A bracelet made of ghost nets.

Recently, a small film job drew my attention to a very cool product. Since I'm already involved in the @cleanplanet project, I think the idea behind Bracenet is also very good. At the end of my job I got a Bracenet like all participants in the @andre.wiersig film project. By the way, Andre is currently in Spain and will soon swim through the Strait of Gibraltar.

The Brancenet Project

Among the fishermen on the seas, it is not uncommon for fishing nets to stick to rocks and force fishermen to cut them off. The fishermen take a sharp knife and cut the fishing net from the boat and the net lands in the sea. The fishing net now floats around in the ocean as a so-called "ghost net" and is a danger to the fish. Fish get caught in these nets and unfortunately die. The remaining nets lie on the bottom of the sea for many years and this is also an environmental pollution.

Information can be found at the website of Bracenet: https://bracenet.net/

Now there are about 1000 ghost net hunters who go on a search for those left behind. The divers dive in the fishing areas and recover the remaining fishing nets. By the way, such a fishing net needs several 1000 years to dissolve.

Bracelets are then made from these recovered nets.

I have Brancenet No.4792, which was recovered from the depths of the sea in February 2017.

The bracelet will now remain on my arm for a very long time. It reminds you even better to be careful with the environment. I think it's a great addition to the Clean Planet project, where they clean up in the oceans, which is at least as important as it is in the country.

If you are also interested in such a great product, then have a look at the website of Bracenet. The bracelets cost 19 Euro and are a great gift item. Especially for nature lovers or people who love the sea, very suitable.
