The net, which was pulled up by ferry operators travelling from Gove to Groote Eylandt, was heavy with sand but miraculously free of sea creatures.

Ghost nets are those typically lost or discarded by fishing vessels and are known to devastate marine life, including dugongs and sea turtles that dwell off the Top End.

Investigation Underscores Need for Water Quality Funding - Research shows the hazardous impacts of fertilizer runoff are not isolated to the Gulf of Mexico. Over-concentrated nutrients also endanger our recreation areas, as with the 1,400 closures or swim warnings issued this summer at public beaches in the 12 states under review. Most troubling of all, those nutrients end up in our drinking water, potentially threatening our health and driving up municipal governments’ water treatment costs, which are covered by our tax dollars.
