Define bycatch and ghost nets.
What will be an ideal response?
Bycatch species are considered fish, marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles that are caught accidentally by drift-nets. Much of the bycatch is thrown overboard dead or dying. Ghost nets are nets that are lost or abandoned and float beneath the surface in many areas, trapping and killing aquatic animals, before they finally sink or are recovered.
