28th July 2020 - Following reports from local divers,, a team of volunteers set out on the Fathoms Free RHIB 'Casper' to the area of the Carrick Roads known as East Narrows.

Whilst Nat and Emma remained on the boat, Jules and Luke quickly located two strings of lost pots and attached lifting bags to them. Once they had surfaced, the four volunteers dragged a total of 16 pots and hundreds of metres of rope into the RIB - the fullest it had ever been.

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.
