‘Bycatch’

Gill nets hang like massive curtains in the oceans, drifting with the currents. Ranging from 200 feet to miles in length, gill nets are weighted at the bottom and held upright by floats at the top, creating what some have deemed “walls of death.” Animals are unable to see the netting, and when they try to back away, the netting entangles them.
