Tangled nets, line, ropes and floats washed ashore on sandy beach. Waimanalo Beach, Oahu, Hawaii, USA. Discarded nets from commercial fishing ships are called ghost nets as they continue to kill sea life as they float along on the ocean currents. Ocean mammals and turtles also get entangled in discarded nets and lines leading to suffocation.
