Drift nets, also known as "walls of death," are large nets that hang vertically in the ocean and drift with the current. These nets can be several miles long and can entangle and kill non-targeted marine species, including dolphins, turtles, and other marine mammals, as well as young fish. Many countries have banned the use of drift nets, but they continue to be used illegally in some areas.
