Its a really frightful practice
\nseine nets
\na corporate way
\nconceived in some sick mind
\nto catch as much
\nand some pay
\nthe piper for the pleasure
\nbut sadly what we see
\nis by-catch
\nwhich is costly to
\nthe creatures of the sea<\/p>\n
going after tuna
\nthose mercury ridden souls
\nsome of which are in sharp decline
\nbut clearly they are the goals
\nthe corporates subscribe to
\nand sadly what we see
\nis what is known as by-catch
\nbut its victims, actually<\/p>\n
the Leatherback is one such soul
\nthat gets hooked up in the seine
\nthe netting made of filament
\nits fine and so again
\nin the ocean bobbing there
\nother species tend
\nto be lured in amongst it all
\nthats how they meet their end<\/p>\n
may be its unintentional
\nbut the seine nets are not thought out
\nits what happens, so often
\nwhen no one thinks about
\nthe wide world
\nand the other species
\nnow who share the sea
\nand to sacrifice them just to
\ncatch the tuna must not be<\/p>\n
but the turtle does appear
\nto be a victim
\nits leathery carapace
\ncan seemingly
\nget hooked up and then
\nthey die from starvation
\nthat has to be a shocking
\ntragedy<\/p>\n
Turtles love to eat the
\nmany jelly fish
\nand plastic waste and seine nets
\nfloating free
\nlook a bit like jelly fish
\nand consuming either one
\nwill clearly make the turtle
\nsick, they be
\nfooled by what appears
\nwithin their eye sight
\nunsuspecting of some human waste
\nwith joints for teeth
\nyou can understand their
\nfrustration
\njetsum and its a problem
\nthat is faced<\/p>\n
back to corporate ships
\nand fishing tackle
\nits lethal in the sea
\nfor turtles who
\nswallow up the plastic
\nwhich chokes them very quickly
\nsome discard it
\nbut haven’t got a clue
\nhow dangerous it becomes
\nimmersed in water
\nwhat it tends to looks like
\nin the sea
\nits easy to be fooled
\nand many are appalled
\nby dead and dying turtles
\nconstantly<\/p>\n
I think we all
\nmust pay greater attention
\nto what we do with plastic bags
\nwe use
\nusing them as bin liners
\napparently is cheaper
\nbut some where else a creature
\nwe abuse<\/p>\n
its not that we set out to do this
\nno one does
\nits just once in the environment
\nthey blow
\nhere and there and end up
\nin the ocean
\nwhere plastic dead zones
\nsuddenly do grow<\/p>\n
the turtle is now having a rather
\nawful time
\nwith so much garbage in the sea
\nreally there’s no rhyme
\nnor reason why they ought to know
\nthat, that jelly over head
\nis really a supermarket bag
\nand if they eat it they will be dead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
