Approximately 640 tonnes of discarded fishing equipment, known as ‘ghost gear ‘, is abandoned in our oceans worldwide every year. Large amounts of these nets are found and removed from the remote beaches and seas by local rangers on Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpenteria, often with entrapped and endangered animals found within them, dead and alive. Arnindilyakwa women have been preventing these nets from becoming landfill or releasing poisonous greenhouse gases when they are burnt. They weave them into unique baskets using bush dyed and recycled fabric, to utilise this environmental threat in a creative way, as well share the story of this ecological issue.
