Veronika Mikos is the Director of Healthy Seas, a marine conservation organization established to tackle marine pollution caused by lost or abandoned fishing gear, otherwise known as ghost gear. As these materials drift aimlessly through the water, they get entangled on reefs and wrecks while continuing with their original purpose- to trap anything that comes within their path. Healthy Seas not only tackles this issue through clean-up, prevention, and awareness-raising, they contribute to the circular economy by working with partners who then recycle and repurpose this material.
