"Western Greece boasts picturesque landscapes, beautiful beaches and renowned
holiday islands. Yet just off the coast, beneath the Ionian Sea, lurks
something less idyllic, especially for the local sea life – ghost farms.
These abandoned fish farms release debris, plastic and pollution into the
marine environment. They endanger the flora and fauna – and they are a growing
problem.
A survey by the Healthy Seas initiative identified 150 possible locations of
fish farming-related waste along the coastline. Partnering with Hyundai, the
organization has been working to clean up these ghost farms.
In a recent 10-day intensive clean-up, the project worked in two locations –
seas off the port city of Patras and the island of Ithaca. It removed more than
42.7 tonnes of marine litter, including large nets used in fish farming, and
structures including cages made of pipes and polystyrene."
