Net entanglement in derelict fishing nets is a major threat to the conservation of endangered species of cetaceans, birds and reptiles. Nets made of nylon and plastics are non degradable and are a major source of risk to many species whether aquatic or terrestrial which often get trapped and killed which continue to be present in the environment even when not in use. Lack of awareness and careless handling of these fishing gears by fishermen poses serious damaging impact on the biodiversity and ecological health of the habitat.
