Join us for Net Stripping Volunteer Days at Ocean Legacy Foundation.There are some nets that have been dropped off that need to be taken apart and stripped. Fishing nets are one of the most difficult forms of marine debris to process, and we need community support to help prepare these materials for recycling and transformation into circular products.We’re organizing monthly volunteer days at our Richmond facility where participants can help strip, sort, and support the recovery of ghost gear and industry items collected from coastlines and marine environments!Send us an email at to participate!#GhostGear #MarineDebris #OceanConservation #CircularEconomy
