Oceans of Fish by Emily

Hiding beneath the ocean there are ghost nets. They disappear and they appear again.The cycle of ghost nets is sinking then rising then it begins again. When a ghost net catches dolphins, seals, fish and seabirds it soon gets too heavy and then it sinks to the bottom, then they rot away.

New volcanoes erupting underwater can affect sea life. They produce hot lava and gases that can be poisonous.
