VOLUNTEER SCUBA-DIVERS have cleared more than 125kg of ghost-fishing net, line and abandoned lobster pots that had been endangering marine life on two Tyneside shipwrecks.
The local chapter of Ghost Diving UK divers cleared the net from the 30m-deep wreck of the Mars on 15 August. The locally built, Swedishregistered steamer sank early in WW2 in 1939 after striking a German mine.
