Ghost fishing nets in Xixová-Japuí State Park

Xixová-Japuí State Park (XJSP), that has 3,48 square mile, is located on
the west side of Santos Bay, in São Vicente, SP, and, even being a
Protect Area, don't escape of dangers caused by lost net fishings. Many
of them ? that coming adrift -, or even those set illegally, are removed
by manager, Paulo Menna, and the contributors of XJSP in a constant work.

Clandestines net fishings are usually set at night, since the place is a
fishing exclusion area. Most presents a medium to high weariness stage,
still with fishes, turtles and others foulings, but net fishings with
little use are also found. All of them are collected and stored in safe
place, waiting for recycling.

In interview with Paulo Menna he said more about the work realized in
Xixová-Japuí State Park.
