In this episode, we hear from both Norbert Lee of Ghost Diving USA and Eric Nelson of Aquafil about their new U.S. partnership with Healthy Seas that recently kicked off in Los Angeles.
They removed entangled fishing nets from the ship, the USS Moody, that was sunk for the Hollywood movie, Hell Below.
Norbert talks about the near-impossible conditions they overcame that day and Eric tells us all about what Aquafil does with the nets after they are retrieved. This new partnership expands Healthy Seas’ presence and impact to 13 countries!
