It's possible to do more than one good thing at a time
Getting rid of these nets as well as stopping the plastic waste
Plastic waste yes, of which nets are but one of the problems. Manufacturers of plastic goods need better regulation surrounding waste reclamation efforts. I once worked at a plant that plastic chips basically went down the drain into the sewers. Sure, there was a trap, that was constantly full and overflowing while we waste gallons of fresh water as coolant that could also easily be reclaimed in a recycler that would double as catchment for excess plastics, but what do I know?! That would cost money!
