Save a Life this Christmas –
Help Remove Deadly Ghost Nets
Donate today to help build a future where people and nature thrive together.
Ghost nets (lost, abandoned or discard fishing nets) are one of the deadliest threats to marine wildlife across northern Australia. They can drift through our oceans for thousands of kilometres, entangling and harming marine wildlife along the way.
This Christmas, your donation can help prevent ocean-bound nets entering the water, support net capture and recovery efforts, and protect threatened species including turtles, dugongs, dolphins and sharks.
How your support can help:
$20 – Can help capture and redirect a net before it becomes ghost gear
Supports early detection, reporting, and the redirection of ocean-bound nets into recycling pathways before they drift into sensitive habitats.
$50 – Can help prevent a turtle from deadly ghost net entanglements
Contributes to at-sea clean-up efforts that protect turtles, dugongs, dolphins and sharks from drifting nets.
$100 – Can support the removal of a large ghost net from Australian waters
Helps cover the transport, fuel, equipment and responsible disposal or recycling of recovered nets.
$250 – Can help coastal communities implement net-recycling solutions
Supports communities to safely collect and redirect ocean-bound nets into waste-management and recycling systems - preventing them from entering the ocean.
$500 – Can support multi-day marine debris recovery missions
Funds complex retrieval operations at sea, helping protect vital marine habitats and threatened species.
