Fishermen losing gear
Every year, a lot of fishing gear gets lost in the ocean.
How many times do you think this gear can go round our planet (so what is the total length)?
Every year, 14 billion hooks,
25 million traps and
almost 740.000 kilometer (460.000 miles) fishing lines
disappears into the ocean!
So that is 18.5 times around our planet!
