Fishing nets being recycled to help save the sea

For years the question of what to do with old fishing nets was a real headache.

Fishermen sometimes dumped them at sea, or they were brought to shore and discarded in landfill.

Now thanks to a scheme organised by Keep Britain Tidy, old trawling nets are for the first time being recycled here in the UK.
