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.

Aquatic Invasive Species: Rock Snot - Rock snot, slimy yellow-brown algae is beginning to spread to other habitats around the World. Rock snot, of didymor, was once native to a few stretches of rivers on Canada’s Vancouver Island, has now reached the waters of New Zealand, Iceland, Alberta, and Atlantic Canada. This aquatic invasive species, according to expert Matthias Herborg does not appear to be an issue to human or wildlife health, but biologists are concerned that it could alter food webs in rivers.
