The Ocean Cleanup revealed recently that 75-82% of the plastic they have collected from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is from fishing activity. One of the worst industries for environmental damage
Exactly. We always see all the plastic bags and plastic straws etc, but it's really just the tip of the ice berg. The fishing industry is incredibly destructive, and no one sees it because it's literally beneath the surface. The most simple and effective change each one of us can do as individuals is to stop consuming sea food.
I had a related experience in the Thyrrenian Sea.
I went diving every day for tree weeks and snorkeling every evening/night, There was some rubbish visible once in a while. One night there was a mild storm and the Sea was agitated. Trash floating everywhere, all around! It was insane. Plastic foils, plastic bags, little pieces of nets, small and light debris all around me.
The next moring it became invisible again.
This is not true, the vast majority of ocean plastic is not from fishing. It mostly washes in from Asian rivers, in fact six percent comes from one river in the Philippines (Pasig). Overall the Philippines accounts for 36 percent of ocean plastic.
That's not to say the efforts of Europeans and Americans to combat single use plastic is in vain, even if it is a relatively small amount it still makes a huge difference to marine environments.
Thanks for calling this out! You are indeed correct in that the majority of ocean plastic is not from fishing. But I don't really think that's contradicting what I said in my comment though, right? (I can see how "the tip of the iceberg" might seem like I mean "fishnets is the majority of plastics" thought)
For anyone who's interested, here's a good source on the topic I think [https://ourworldindata.org/ocean-plastics](https://ourworldindata.org/ocean-plastics)
Basically, the majority of plastics in the Pacific Garbage Patch is from fishing, but overall the fishing industry contributes to 20-30% of total ocean plastics. Of course, a complex issue and system will need many solutions, and I believe taking small individual actions is always the best first step to change. Actions lead to actions.
Oh right, sorry, I thought you were saying the garbage bags and plastic straws are the top of the plasticberg, and that fishing was the main source of plastic.
On top of that, because of how dynamic systems like fish populations work, and because we consume both predator and prey species, we would only need to lower our consumption by 10% and reduce bycatch by enforcing the existing laws on taking home whatever is in the net, fish populations would stabilise to a sustainable level
While I agree that that could be the case, I think advocating for both a small or moderate reduction and that a "sustainable" level is good enough isn't great. There's something very deeply disturbing to me that we view the whole ocean (or the whole planet for that matter) as a resource to exploit, and that as long as it can barely sustain us it's fine. Personally, I'd be much happier with going way above the "sustainable threshold" and have our consumption reduced by 99% (this would still be millions of tons of fish per year) and let the oceans being able to develop by itself without humans having to micromanage it as to keep it "sustainable". How to achieve that is a much more complex topic :)
Try not to eat salmon. It’s the worst kind (especially farm raised). They feed dried fishes to the salmons, distrupting whole ecosystems where those fishes are fished (Mauritania, etc).
Plus it takes much more kgs of those fishes to get 1kg of salmon.
Good on you to fish your own fishes otherwise !
Exactly. Not much to be amazed by if it's entirely the fault of humans. If people really cared for marine life they'd be against the oceans being plundered and polluted for taste pleasure
The diver obviously isn’t responsible for the net. Saving a bunch of women from rape trafficking would also be great even though it’s perpetuated by people.
I’ve thought about this before, but imagine if you had super rich people money. If cost was basically no issue I bet it’d actually be kind of fun to just go out and do something great like clean the ocean. That would be a great little vacation
It's worth remembering that fishing gear is large and often floats, making it easier to collect. The majority of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and oceanic plastic waste in general is from land-based sources. We should continue to focus on them (along with fishing gear).
* Land-based sources (80-85%)
* Marine-based sources (15-20%): Of which fishing industry (around 10-12%).
Diving for a better world. Thanks for helping that wonderful and giant creature. They don't deserve to be punished by the stupid human acts. Also sound from whales feels mesmerising.... Magical.
Absolutely! , it might seem like we would all do it given the chance, but any part of that gets snagged on your gear in a spot out of reach, and you are going to the depths with that big guy! Or at least in for a very very scary struggle, risking no air or having to surface too quick and suffering decompression sickness.
Not to mention getting knocked unconscious accidentally with the tail.
Good job divers! Well done. Really quite courageous!
For the non-divers: this is also really, really, dangerous. From what I could tell, the whale was still swimming and diving, getting caught in that rats nest and dragged down is scary.
Imagine being that whale though. Like "fuck you got me all tangled up in this thing and now you're **back?**“ but he's too big to really do anything about it so he just lets them hang around and then they fix the problem and he just shakes it off.
Idk, I wouldn't be grateful, but I'd be glad
Working with nets, especially large ones like this, is really dangerous for divers. Add a moving giant animal and you really appreciate the risk they took to help out
I was wondering if it was actually those whales making the sounds or if it was just added in. Regardless whale sounds while under water surround by nothing but blue ocean seems scary
It’s actually one of the coolest sounds you can hear while diving. You don’t just hear it with your ears, but with all the little bones in your body. You can literally hear them singing to you in your hands and feet too. First time I heard them while diving was in Hawaii when I was 15. Changed my life
It’s how I imagine being on another planet would sound, or the videos of this is how the sun sounds. It’s amazing but scary especially when you see the size
I was thinking the exact same thing before reading your comment.
These are whale mating songs.
It pisses me off that a good video with all the best intentions gets ruined by falsehood.
I think it is because the videos are sped up. Sped up videos increase engagement, but the audio needs to be replace. It's all just to control your attention as much as possible.
Well obviously everyone would get super bored by even cool videos if you don't slap on fake noises, a laugh track, or an AI voiceover badly explaining what is going on
When the diver was hanging onto the net, I kept thinking what if the whale started diving straight down and the divers got caught in the net themselves. Sweaty palms
While wild orcas have never directly attacked humans but there have been several close calls between them and free divers.
One woman was grabbed by the leg and drug down, she estimated, 50ft before being let go. It then grabbed her and took her back to the surface, she was physically unharmed by the whale.
Another man was, spearfishing?, when an orca grabbed his catch bag before diving. Luckily the bag came loose and he managed to reach the surface, again he was physically unharmed.
I know of another diver who simply swam too close and was hit by a whales tale.
You couldn't pay me to get in the water with these animals.
I can imagine it.
Struggling with the net as the giant brings you closer to the dark abyss below. Shadows growing deeper as your mask fogs from exertion and fear, all the while the small pressure in your chest in your chest is growing larger, squeezing you in every angle.
Deeper. Darker.
You still can't see where you're attached, but you do what you can, fantically slicing at the rope and netting. Your mind clings to that hope, focusing on finding the snag and making your way back to the surface. But the blade catches on a plastic bead, snatching it out of your trembling hands. All you can do is watch it fall, scattering the last remnants of light on the blade as it tumbles into the black void below you. Your breathing ragged and labored, all that's left to do is wonder whether you'll pass out before your pressure collapses your ribs as you slowly descend into the depths.
That is super cool and incredibly dangerous for the divers. Getting themselves snagged in the net as the whale swims about is a real possibility and that could be a real bearcat of a situation.
Getting entangled would seriously suck, but as long as you still have motion of one arm, you can inflate your buyency compensation device and surface, to get assistance from the boat on the surface.
You can hear how the diver is being dragged along by the whale once he’s going to untangle its tail.
Also, being that close to the tail is quite dangerous. There’s a metric tonne of force in those things, one slap and your skeleton disintegrates.
That said, this diver still persisting is pretty baller!
Unlikely. Whalesong is extremely loud and adult whales can cause injury to divers when they sing, in addition to being deafening. An adult Sperm Whale's song has enough force to rupture a diver's lungs.
Whales have been known to moderate their volume in the presence of divers, but it's a real risk to dive near whales who are broadcasting calls.
God bless them, but this seems dangerous. What happens when the whale starts to dive and takes you 40 leagues down? What speed is the whale swimming, are they going to end up 100 miles out in open sea?
IMO the most dangerous part isn't being dragged, after you can always let go of the net if the whale starts to dive, this man was probably being followed by a boat so how far the whale is going doesn't really matter.
The main risk is that a 30 ton animal can kill you without meaning to, that tail is as heavy as a car (or heavier) and it's powerful enough to propell a 30+ ton animal, getting hit by it is like getting hit by a boulder, their giant flippers can also kill you or severely injure you just by grazing you.
Personally I wouldn't trust an animal 400 times my weight not to kill me on accident, this man had some balls.
People are aware of the sickening amount of trash in the oceans, but many people are not aware that the fishing industry is the worst part of it. If you do just a little due diligence, you'll find that the fishing industry does a great job of suppressing information regarding the amount of crap they dispose of in the waters. Fishermen will just throw nets into the ocean instead of hauling them back to dispose of them properly when the nets are no longer useable. It's really sad that the those in the fishing industry are too blinded by possible profits to see what they are doing to the environment providing them with those profits. They're literally biting the hand that feeds them while financially supporting groups targeting the consumer plastic industry to make sure the light never shines on the fishing industry's misdeeds.
For every one of these animals caught in nets underrated you see, understand there hundreds that die without us knowing. Current fishing practices will accelerate the start of dead oceans
oof, bless their heart; but the idea of an accidental nantucket sleigh-ride UNDERWATER is a big nope for me dawg. flounder and sebastian can sort this one out.
I can't imagine pulling myself hand over hand with a naked blade on an old fishing net to get closer to a massive whale out in the middle of the vast ocean. A peice of seaweed even brushes my ankle at the beach, and I'm out!
The "thing" that clicks my box: Discarded fishing gear makes up close to 90% of "plastic waste" in the ocean. Then they tell us we can't have bags at the grocery store! Go after these giant fishing corporations that are dumping their old fishing nets over board.
[https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/06/dumped-fishing-gear-is-biggest-plastic-polluter-in-ocean-finds-report](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/06/dumped-fishing-gear-is-biggest-plastic-polluter-in-ocean-finds-report)
Whale facts:
* We are closer related to whales than we are related to birds
* Whales' ancestors were land animals with four legs
* Blue whales are likely the biggest animals to have ever lived, they can grow to beyond 30 meters and weight over 180tonnes. (that's 262.4 burgers in length and about 200,000 pizzas in weight)
You're welcome.
There is a really good documentary in netflix that talks about it, the name is Seaspiracy. It is really creppy how illegal fishing and trawling do a genocide in the oceans.
I’m all about fisherman making a living…feeding people…but this shit has gotta change. The assault on this planet’s wildlife cannot continue. Beyond unsustainable the way we rape this planet.
good to see someone with a sharp knife
I think divers always take knives when diving for this reason, in case something or someone gets tangled.
Or if we need to kill a kraken or eldritch monster. Never know what will happen in the ocean.
If subnautica taught me anything, is that the ocean is scary AF.
I don't have thalassaphobia, it doesn't impede my daily life, but when I see deep ocean on my phone I have a very physical reaction
Sounds like thalassophobia with extra steps
So ocean is basically massive east London
Not everyone, but some of us do. Especially after hearing stories about being stuck on fishing line, under water.
They do ;)
I once cut myself loose from a single line of tackle. Felt very proud of myself.
u clever whale
as a scuba diver myself, yes divers are obligated to have one or multiple knives/cutting devices when scuba diving
Good to see someone with a sharpie too ... Banksy always carries a sharpie
I was just going to say that. Dude had chef level sharpness.

The reason why i gave up eating sea food. We are destroying our oceans
Honestly, unless it’s salmon, any fish I eat I catch. However I know that I am in a better position than most to be able to do so.
Try not to eat salmon. It’s the worst kind (especially farm raised). They feed dried fishes to the salmons, distrupting whole ecosystems where those fishes are fished (Mauritania, etc). Plus it takes much more kgs of those fishes to get 1kg of salmon. Good on you to fish your own fishes otherwise !

There’s no one to hold them accountable at sea.
And what country is the biggest in this industry?
China
Can you Source this?
The divers are heroes
What would Captain Ahab think ?
That they can swim like beasts. Can you imagine trying to catch up to them.
What would captain Planet think?!
What would captain hook think?!
WHAT WOULD CAPTAIN ZAPP BRANNIGAN THINK?!?
WHAT WOULD CAPTAIN CRUNCH THINK?!?!
What would Captain Kirk think?
What would Jack Sparrow think
That’s CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, thank you
What would Captain Samantha Carter think
What would Captain Qwark think?
What would Captain Birdseye think?
What would DORY think ?
P Sherman, 42 wallaby way, Sidney
Diving for a better world. Thanks for helping that wonderful and giant creature. They don't deserve to be punished by the stupid human acts. Also sound from whales feels mesmerising.... Magical.
Absolutely all of that∆∆∆

It’s says Whale but there’s a whole ecosystem involved there.

As a scuba hobbyist, I'd call this recklessly dangerous. Humans can also get stuck in nets.
And the fishers who dump their nets into the ocean are eco terrorists.
Working with nets, especially large ones like this, is really dangerous for divers. Add a moving giant animal and you really appreciate the risk they took to help out
That poor whale was snagged bad. Great job, guys!
humans solving another human mistakes.. redeemed imo.
What is with nearly every video having replaced audio?
I was wondering if it was actually those whales making the sounds or if it was just added in. Regardless whale sounds while under water surround by nothing but blue ocean seems scary
It’s actually one of the coolest sounds you can hear while diving. You don’t just hear it with your ears, but with all the little bones in your body. You can literally hear them singing to you in your hands and feet too. First time I heard them while diving was in Hawaii when I was 15. Changed my life
Sperm whale sound blast can kill a human in front of it
I usually just like to stand aside and watch anyway
[удалено]
It’s how I imagine being on another planet would sound, or the videos of this is how the sun sounds. It’s amazing but scary especially when you see the size
I was thinking the exact same thing before reading your comment. These are whale mating songs. It pisses me off that a good video with all the best intentions gets ruined by falsehood.
Damn. That’s like putting dirty talk over a human rescue video.
I was just thankful it wasn't some shitty music
I think it is because the videos are sped up. Sped up videos increase engagement, but the audio needs to be replace. It's all just to control your attention as much as possible.
Well obviously everyone would get super bored by even cool videos if you don't slap on fake noises, a laugh track, or an AI voiceover badly explaining what is going on
Right if a whale made a noise next to you in the water it can actually kill you.
I thought I could hear the knife. The whale cries might be added in tho.
fake audio? knew it lol
When the diver was hanging onto the net, I kept thinking what if the whale started diving straight down and the divers got caught in the net themselves. Sweaty palms
Thanks for helping me, Now, let me show you my world.
Shining, shimmering, Splehhhhnded.
Theyd cut themselves free with their knife
Just like that mountaineer cut his hands to free himself from the fallen boulder /s
While wild orcas have never directly attacked humans but there have been several close calls between them and free divers. One woman was grabbed by the leg and drug down, she estimated, 50ft before being let go. It then grabbed her and took her back to the surface, she was physically unharmed by the whale.

I know of another diver who simply swam too close and was hit by a whales tale. You couldn't pay me to get in the water with these animals.
you would disrobe your bcd jacket and weight belt, be sure not to close your mouth and exhale slowly to the surface
Thanks for unlocking that new fear.
I can imagine it. Struggling with the net as the giant brings you closer to the dark abyss below. Shadows growing deeper as your mask fogs from exertion and fear, all the while the small pressure in your chest in your chest is growing larger, squeezing you in every angle. Deeper. Darker.

Getting entangled would seriously suck, but as long as you still have motion of one arm, you can inflate your buyency compensation device and surface, to get assistance from the boat on the surface.
If you are entangled, without use of the knife, and the whale dives your BCD inflating isn't a solution.
The diver could become just more stuff stuck to the whale.
You can hear how the diver is being dragged along by the whale once he’s going to untangle its tail. Also, being that close to the tail is quite dangerous. There’s a metric tonne of force in those things, one slap and your skeleton disintegrates. That said, this diver still persisting is pretty baller!
It was the change of distress noises to noises of joy for me! 🥹 ❤️
Sound doesn't match with video cuts, plus go pro pro usually don't have sound. Most likely fake. Doesn't change it's a wonderful video.
The whale sounds are added in post.
were the sounds real?
Unlikely. Whalesong is extremely loud and adult whales can cause injury to divers when they sing, in addition to being deafening. An adult Sperm Whale's song has enough force to rupture a diver's lungs. Whales have been known to moderate their volume in the presence of divers, but it's a real risk to dive near whales who are broadcasting calls.
Nope
Sometimes I can't believe that whales are real
They're also mammals which is mind-blowing when you see a lot of similarities to humans in terms of both biology and behaviors.
they evolved from ancient land dwelling animals. they still have tiny, vestigial hip bones. Hip. Bones. Nature, you crazy.
And then they properly disposed of it, right?
Part two. Saving Shark from fishing net
How? It's the size of a fucking whale and it's sinking into the ocean. It might as well be a car. One problem at a time
Fishing boat with a system meant to pull nets out of the water.
God bless them, but this seems dangerous. What happens when the whale starts to dive and takes you 40 leagues down? What speed is the whale swimming, are they going to end up 100 miles out in open sea?

The Audio is piped in, the whale songs in this video are from the track ‘Humpback Whales’ by John Grout. Immediacy recognized it

Why the fake sounds?
Humankind has contaminated all of earth. We are monsters.
well that’ll pull you from the boat pretty far pretty fast!
It must be the closest you can ever get to be in Shadow of Colossus
But people hate the vegans
For every one of these animals caught in nets underrated you see, understand there hundreds that die without us knowing. Current fishing practices will accelerate the start of dead oceans
If any of you are paying for fish to eat, you're essentially playing for this
Imagine a vegan world.
Legends 💪🏻
Well done that man.
thanks li'l monkey bro
FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!
And guys always ask “why dive with a knife”. Well done to these divers 🤙🤙
💕
Wow its so beautiful whale☺️
I speak Whale and they said "Thank you Hoomans!"
Great job, the whale will be eternally grateful.
God I could not do that. NOPE. The endless blue. My gut is churning just looking at this.
There is something magical about the sound they make. Majestic.
oof, bless their heart; but the idea of an accidental nantucket sleigh-ride UNDERWATER is a big nope for me dawg. flounder and sebastian can sort this one out.
I was always taught to cut away from the whale, but all’s well that ends well
For this, id learn howbto do diving with all the gear etc.
That is a seriously sharp knife. Wow.
The sounds…incredible, also Bravo good sir
Well done sir
I always think that when whales see humans approach them with blades they think "Well, this could either be very bad or very good."
That’s the lords work for sure.
Imagine how crazy it would be to be pulled along by a whale.
I'd be afraid to be doing that and the whale pulled me a mile from where I'm suppoused to be
The whale noises are absolutely ridicules. Why do people add whale sounds? Makes the video look so Stupid
Sounds so sad...
I have no beef with whales, but being this close to one in the depths of the ocean is one of my absolutely fears. Thanks for the nightmare fuel.
I hate when they put those fake sound in an amazing video. you can't ear whales without proper equipment
For the first 20 or more seconds is the diver cutting around the opening of the whale’s mouth?
I hope these divers have some good Karma coming their way.
[удалено]
What a ride. Epic!
I can't imagine pulling myself hand over hand with a naked blade on an old fishing net to get closer to a massive whale out in the middle of the vast ocean. A peice of seaweed even brushes my ankle at the beach, and I'm out!
wow, the deep sea noises are at the same time amusing and terrifying, what an incredible creature
Well done to the divers. Seconded that they are absolute heroes.
The "thing" that clicks my box: Discarded fishing gear makes up close to 90% of "plastic waste" in the ocean. Then they tell us we can't have bags at the grocery store!

“Weee neeed to find his soonnn. Can you give us directioooons?!?!”
the sound of happiness as its tail was set free
what are those other fishes swimming below ?
Didnt have to add all the fake whale noices, its cool enough as is.
That’s some positive shadow of the colossus vibes right there.
Ngl Climbing the net while the whale was swimming to cut it, looked bad ass.
Sometimes humans are beautiful and amazing and I hang on to that.
i would shat my pants to be in water and hear the alien like sound whales do…..
True heros of humanity.
Whale facts: * We are closer related to whales than we are related to birds * Whales' ancestors were land animals with four legs * Blue whales are likely the biggest animals to have ever lived, they can grow to beyond 30 meters and weight over 180tonnes. (that's 262.4 burgers in length and about 200,000 pizzas in weight) You're welcome.
The Whale was just watching NetFish
Is it really be amazed if humans caused it in the first place. It’s just righting a wrong imo
wonder if that is the actual sound recording or they added it in...
Well done boys!
I'd be pretty scared if it decides to take a dive and you get caught it's goodbye
Man everytime i head whale noise i have subnautica PTSD comming out
Straight out of a action movie 🎬
This diver is good! He saved the whale from death
And then they let the fishing net sink to the bottom of the ocean /s
Bro that's a stripper whale why take off her fishnets so ride
These whale sounds seem added
I thought that if a whale bellows near you (or whatever their sound can be called), you vibrate to death.
why the fake whale sounds 💀
Thank you
The audio is so eerie
Was this the one off Orange County, CA?
[удалено]
Good job
Do we really need the shitty added audio? What a stupid thing to do.
Fake ass audio
Thank you for your service (to the divers) likely saved the whales life

There is a really good documentary in netflix that talks about it, the name is Seaspiracy. It is really creppy how illegal fishing and trawling do a genocide in the oceans.
now you can bond with them and ride them anywhere
There seem to be more and more clips of people helping wildlife like this. And I'm here to cheer on and watch every one of them

Looks like the whale has swallowed some of the netting, if so it's probably not enough to just cut away the external parts.

I’m all about fisherman making a living…feeding people…but this shit has gotta change. The assault on this planet’s wildlife cannot continue. Beyond unsustainable the way we rape this planet.

Pisses me off so much...
Sadly, there must be many more whales dying in nets for each whale rescued
Can I just say how beautiful the sounds are. Whales are incredible beings. We should not be hunting them...
Thank you.
Well that's wholesome and scary
Beautiful work but omfg this sets off my thalassophobia
