Another great Your Shore conference

Today we attended another brilliant, inspirational Cornwall Wildlife Trust Your Shore Network conference. This year, the event was held at Tregenna Castle overlooking St Ives Bay.

The annual event is always a fantastic way to start the year, with a full day of listening to what others have been up to the year before and what they have planned for the year ahead. Luke gave a short talk about what Fathoms Free has been up to since our last visit, and it was an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded people who share our mission.

Fathoms Free is a group of volunteer divers who protect marine wildlife and the environment for everyone's benefit by removing ALDFG (abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear) and other marine debris from the coastal waters of Cornwall and Devon.

ALDFG is also known as ghost gear or ghost fishing gear, as it continues to "fish," entangling, trapping, and killing wildlife indiscriminately. These trapped animals will die and act as bait, attracting more wildlife in a vicious cycle of death until the ghost gear is removed from the environment.
