Expeditie Noordzee, September 2016

Footage from Expeditie Noordzee in September 2016, the oldest video on the channel and where the underwater work began.

The oldest video on the channel, from September 2016. Footage from Expeditie Noordzee: a clean-up expedition in which divers clear the North Sea.

Abandoned fishing nets, steel cable and other gear snag on wrecks and reefs and go on fishing there. Recovery is the only way to stop it.

This footage predates the rest of this channel by years. It is here because it is where the underwater work began — and because the subject has lost none of its urgency. I documented the same thing later with Ghost Diving in Greece.
