Nets That Save Fish - Ocean bycatch isn’t inevitable — it’s a design challenge.
Six years ago, the Norwegian coast guard filmed a Scottish fishing vessel riding gray swells, dumping 5 metric tons of dead fish back into the North Sea.

We adopt a two-step process known as 'coral gardening' to actively restore degraded reefs Since the majority of coral reef habitats within the bay have been heavily degraded due to bleaching, sedimentation, and over-fishing, it is imperative to implement an active, sustainable and widespread restoration programme in order to prevent total collapse of this vital ecosystem. Therefore, we have been ...
