WELCOME TO BRACENET!
Lost or deliberately sunk fishing nets are floating all over the oceans and continue to catch marine animals, killing millions every year. Time to stop this!
Together with our partners Healthy Seas and Ghost Diving, we retrieve the ‘ghost nets’ from the oceans or catch them beforehand, clean them and process them into new products in Germany and Portugal.
Spread the message in favour of protecting the oceans and free them from the haunting nets:
SAVE THE SEAS. WEAR A NET
These products are particularly popular.
We only have a few of these products/fishing nets, which is why the selection here changes regularly. Join now:

What our customers say
FROM THE SEA TO THE WRIST
Together with the marine conservation organisations Healthy Seas and Ghost Diving, we free reefs and shipwrecks from lost or deliberately sunk fishing nets at depths of over 50 metres.
After salvage, the nets are cleaned with water and processed by us or our partner Nofir. We usually only know what colour the nets are when they are clean in front of us.
The nets are then processed by hand in Hamburg and Porto and made ready for dispatch. Each Bracenet product is unique due to the different net structures, colours and sizes.
Our impact for marine protection
With our products we collect donations for marine and environmental protection. So far, we have donated €250,000 to organizations such as Healthy Seas, Sea Shepherd, Everwave, the Ocean Voyages Institute and many more. €150,000 of that goes solely to Healthy Seas – actively supporting the recovery of more ghost nets and preventive measures. More to come!
The 250 divers from Healthy Seas and Ghost Diving are traveling worldwide, braving wind and waves, to retrieve more and more ghost nets They have now recovered over 773 tons – roughly equivalent to the weight of 6 blue whales. Our donations fund, among other things, boat rentals, safety training, and diving equipment. Thank you for your help!
After retrieval, the ghost nets are initially sorted and cleaned with water by Nofir. Then, we process them with loving upcycling craftsmanship in Hamburg into many new products, such as Bracenets and dog leashes. So far, we’ve given around 190,000 meters of net a new lease on life – equivalent to the length of a total of 8,000 sperm whales!
