Description: Today, it takes military-level capabilities to complete ocean cleanup. Divers with the U.S. Army's 569th Engineer Dive Detachment worked with Washington State in July to remove lost fishing nets from America’s marine public lands in the Puget Sound, a massive cleanup project that the state started in 2002. Deep sea diving to 140-foot depths is dangerous, but if successful, will improve the health of the ocean’s ecosystem. The derelict nets—also known as ghost gear—were used decades ago for salmon fishing, and can still ensnare and harm today’s sea life. * SUBSCRIBE to NBC LEFT FIELD: nbcnews.to/2rAQzwx * Watch the latest from NBC LEFT FIELD: youtube.com/watch?v=R8tG3hlHcPg&list=PLmWVE4PP8w5Urph0JyLjmQInFXxtgOMBT What is NBC LEFT FIELD? youtube.com/watch?v=5yh0j6zMWCI&list=PLmWVE4PP8w5UEOKp7cxAEqxNgaZ8EUSDs FOLLOW NBC LEFT FIELD: Facebook: nbcnews.to/2rACLSM Instagram: nbcnews.to/2rAsQwp Twitter: nbcnews.to/2rAsWUN VISIT OUR SITE: nbcleftfield.com FOLLOW LX: YouTube: youtube.com/nbclx Instagram: instagram.com/nbclx Twitter: twitter.com/nbclx Facebook: facebook.com/NBCLX Website: lx.com NBC LX Alexa Liautaud Video journalist Ali Withers __ ABOUT NBC LEFT FIELD: NBC Left Field is a new internationally-minded video troupe that makes short, creative documentaries and features specially designed for social media and set-top boxes.
