About This Item

Not good!

To travel the US and spread the word about Ghost Nets. What is a ghost net??? They are fishing nets that have been lost accidentally, deliberately discarded, or simply abandoned at sea. They travel the oceans of the world with the currents and tides continually fishing as they progress through the waters. As they are unattended and roaming, they fish indiscriminately, not only catching threatened species but undersized and protected fish as well. It is a real problem. In the old days the nets were made of twine and ropes. They would decompose after awhile. Now they are made of nylon which just goes on and on to fish for years and years. Do a web search and check out how widespread of a problem it is.

This bug wants to catch Travel Bugs that it meets. Place up to SIX bugs in the neat. Be sure and log each one into and out of the cache. When six are caught a release can be made. In the real world a Ghost Net doesn't release anything!

About This Item

Dying fish caught in a Ghost Net attract other fish which get caught too. Then they attract more fish. It is a bad cycle of death in a Ghost Net..

This last weekend, I grabbed all the Travel Bugs and Geo-Coins from my wishing well to take to my wife's 1K event to move along, however when I went into the wishing well for them, this one was not there. It has likely moved on with one of the recent visitors to my cache. I have marked it as missing, so it does not show up in my cache's inventory. Best wishes to your track-able, hopefully it gets logged soon by whoever picked it up.
