"Ghostnet is coming home!!"

We would like to thank Christiane Linkenbach and Karl Hansmann from ENOS Systems, Seareq International and Dirk Dirk Göldnerfrom NRC International for making this campaign possible with their donation.

Many thanks to the Baltic Sea Explorer Team and Wolfgang Frank

Many thanks to the Antares cutter crew who helped us today!

It was a very positive experience to do this hard work together with the cutter crew.

The Antares lost the net 5 years ago through no fault of their own. In addition to the loss of the net, they also had a lot of damage to the ship. We were very pleased that they were prepared to help us with the salvage. There wasn't just a net down there!

We pulled more net out of the water during this salvage operation than ever before. Unfortunately, there was another dead seal in it, my seventh this year. Very, very sad!

My consolation is that no more animals have to die in the monster that was salvaged today.
