What is a Ghost Net?

Ghost nets are fishing nets that have been abandoned at sea, lost accidentally or deliberately discarded, (ALDFG). They travel the oceans of the world with the currents and tides continually fishing as they progress through the waters. As they are unattended and roaming, they fish indiscriminately, not only catching threatened species but undersized and protected fish as well.
