KOTA KINABALU: An attempt to rid the sea of “ghost nets” – abandoned or lost fishing nets – proved to be a blessing as divers from a resort here managed to rescue a bamboo shark that was found trapped in one of such nets.
The divers performing the sweep were from Pulau Gaya’s Gayana Marine Resort’s dive and recreation team, who were taking part in its first ocean clean-up activity last week around the island’s Malohom Bay after discovering ghost nets in the surrounding waters.
“In the recent initiative, the team managed to rescue a trapped bamboo shark, but another bamboo shark found in the same area was dead by the time we got to it.” Also located at Gaya island, MERC was established by the resort in 2007 as part of efforts to promote ocean conservation and awareness.
