Dive Against Debris, Ocean Defenders' Mission to Save Marine Life

Kurt Lieber, founder of Ocean Defenders Alliance, discusses the organization's efforts to remove abandoned fishing gear from the ocean. These efforts aim to prevent harm to marine life, such as whales, which are increasingly entangled in these traps. The organization faces challenges in locating and removing the gear, but the dedication of volunteers and the local impact of their work drive them forward. Despite the global scale of the problem, the focus remains on making a difference locally.
