Protecting India's Coastal Waters from ALDFG & Overfishing

Working towards a multi stakeholder and inclusive approach for fighting ghost nets and plastic pollution along India’s coasts

Protecting Our Future

Tangled Seas works closely with fishing and diving communities across the west coast of India to tackle ghost nets, plastic pollution, and unsustainable fishing that threatens marine life as well as the livelihood of the community that depends on these ecosystems.

How can you get involved..

Help us support Indian fishing communities and certified divers tackle ocean pollution by participating, volunteering and donating in one or more of our programmes below

Ghost Net & Plastic Removal

We organise coastal, river, and benthic cleanups to safely remove abandoned fishing nets.

Plastic Pollution Study

There is a huge data and access gap in research on ALDFG (Abandoned lost discarded fishing gear) in the Indian Ocean.

We want to bridge that gap by making ghost net data easily accessible and available to everyone through our database.

Community Workshops

Our #CareforFishingGear Impact campaign works towards educating locals on ghost gear management, overfishing, seasonality and increase their sensitivity towards the sea that they depend on for their livelihood and her marine inhabitants
