Lethal marine fishing gear
"A total of 195 "ghost" pots were pulled from the south-east Queensland waterway, suspected to have been left by recreational and commercial fishers...Nylon netting could take hundreds of years to break down and that the pots would have continued to trap and kill turtles and other marine life.
The Australian Marine Conservation Society lists ghost gear and abandoned fishing lines and nets as among the most lethal type of marine debris."

Quick Dugong Transformer design.
Another twitter prompt. Uhhh, how about: Divingbelle. Young Autobot with an affinity for the sea bordering on elitism for aquatic alternate modes. Thinks Seaspray of all people should lead the Autobots?? Call her alt-mode a sea cow at your own risk.

are killing endangered species in numbers "far greater" than what is reported, calling for a ban on the practice in Great Barrier waters. "It's a Protection Area here but you can still net … I don't know where the logic is. Gillnets are indiscriminate killers which can capture and drown iconic threatened species like dugongs in minutes. Fishers may be illegally mutilating endangered species to attract sharks to devour the carcasses.”

“This in the has two sets of companions… The golden jacks grab small shrimps that the dugong stirs up. He seems content to have them around. The remoras, on the other hand, seem to trouble him."

Will the dugong ever return to China? Dugongs are functionally extinct in Chinese waters. This means the remaining population is unsustainable and very likely to disappear in the near future. The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List classifies the species as “vulnerable”. They are already extinct in Mauritius, Taiwan and Okinawa. The same fate may befall other populations.
