Mission, Vision & Values
Nets for Net Zero is a non-profit organization facilitating circular economies for ghost fishing gear from coast to coast.
Our vision
We envision a world where ghost fishing gear is not a threat to the ocean’s biodiversity and all ghost gear can be recycled into useful goods.
Our mission
Nets for Net Zero facilitates a circular economy for ghost fishing gear through research, innovation, and education. We foster connections that allow our oceans to regenerate, implement innovative technologies and build communities that promote a net zero future.
Our Values
-
Innovation
More often than not we’re venturing into uncharted territory, innovation and science based decision making is at the core of our work. We value continuous innovation, failing fast, and testing new ideas and technologies that will give a new life for some of the most challenging materials to recycle. Every breakthrough is an opportunity to turn ocean waste into circular resources.
-
Transparency
Honest communication and thorough impact analyses are essential to advancing net positive collaboration for a circular economy. We believe perfection is an impediment to progress and that failure is part of the process to achieving breakthrough solutions. We are committed to telling you everything: the good, the bad, and everything in between – it’s the only way we will build the trust we need to progress towards a action that benefits the economy, business, and protect life under water.
-
Equality & Diversity
We know that we have a responsibility to future generations to protect the environment, but sustainability for us goes beyond the environment and into social equality and economic development. Whether it’s lifting voices that are too often unheard, or ensuring we provide equal opportunity, we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone can confidently express their opinions and be part of the change we want to see.
