Thanks @FirstUpRNZ and @radionz for spreading the word about what we do! #ghostfishing

A team of passionate divers have seen the damage that discarded fishing gear and rubbish can do to our marine environment - and they're out to change it.

@FirstUpRNZ joined @GhostFishingNZ on one of their clean-ups at Oriental Bay to find out more about their work.
