BBC News at One, Fishing nets

One of our unique selling points at CSGRT is our ability to demonstrate the appalling impacts that lost, damaged or (as it turns out - discarded) fishing gear have on our seals.
We were delighted to partner with Keep Britain Tidy's Ocean Recovery Project when we heard that it was finally possible to recycle trawl nets into re-useable pellets in the UK.
Check out the National News coverage to hear all about it.
