ghost nets
from the bahamas

A few months ago, shark researcher Lukas Müller, underwater cameraman Lennart Rossenfeld and actor Daniel Roesner were in the Bahamas for a SternTV production to inform about tiger sharks and raise awareness about marine protected areas. In the middle of filming, they stumbled across several ghost nets that had been washed ashore! The next morning, the team got up before sunrise and headed out to recover these nets. We were also immediately ready, organized the transport of the nets to Germany and happily received them in our manufactory. In the meantime, we have lovingly upcycled them by hand into new products. Will you help us to protect the sharks with these products?

guardians of the sea

Sharks are invaluable to the oceans. By preying on sick and weak fish, they keep fish stocks and oceans strong and healthy. But they are hunted themselves, by humans who want to make money from their fins, meat and fangs. In doing so, they are destroying our very basis for life, because we need healthy oceans for our survival. Thankfully, some great organizations recognize the true value of sharks. With our Bahamas Bracenets and Keychains, we support two of them: Shark Allies and their project “Valuing Sharks Alive” to protect sharks and the Ocean Wildlife Project to research shark populations in the Bahamas.

Let’s save our

sharks together!

support
for shark allies

Shark Allies exists to protect sharks. To this end, the organization is fighting on several fronts: For instance, their team is pushing legislation against the shark fin trade or advocating for marine protected areas. With its latest campaign, "Valuing Sharks Alive," Shark Allies is trying to quantify the value of living sharks. Of course, the value of life cannot really be translated into numbers – but economic arguments help to motivate industry and politics to finally protect sharks effectively! That's why Shark Allies uses elaborate methods to calculate what economic value individual shark populations mean to the industry over their entire lives. The result is clear: By keeping fish stocks healthy and fueling diving and ecotourism, sharks are worth much more than the sum of their individual parts.

wildlife project

The Ocean Wildlife Project (OWP) is a non-profit organization promoting specific research and conservation projects to strengthen marine protected areas. OWP focuses in particular on those projects that create conservation-relevant knowledge about endangered species. After all, we can only protect marine species with concrete measures, such as protected areas, when we understand their behaviour and population patterns. The Bahamas has been such a protected area for sharks since 2011: sharks may not be caught for sport or commercially in its waters. However, infrastructure projects and the destruction of essential habitats pose an indirect but major threat to sharks. OWP supports the work of local shark researchers and conservationists who work to preserve these important habitats through data collection and community education.

bracenets and
keychains!

We are now manufacturing a total of six new products from the nets that Lukas Müller, Lennart Rossenfeld and Daniel Roesner found in the Bahamas: Our Bahamas Bracenets and Bahamas Keychain! They all differ only slightly: they are available in both light and dark ocean green, come with either two or four knots and have a clasp in black, rose gold or silver, or a socket in black or rose gold. For every product sold, we will donate €3.50 each to Shark Allies to support their "Valuing Sharks Alive" campaign and €3.50 to the Ocean Wildlife Project to help research shark populations in the Bahamas.
The sharks appreciate your support!

Über Bracenet

Wir befreien die Meere vom Spuk der Netze

Die Meere gehen unter im Plastikmüll – und fast die Hälfte davon besteht aus verlorenen oder absichtlich weggeworfenen Fischernetzen. Diese sogenannten Geisternetze tun, was sie am besten können: Immer weiter fischen! Mit Bracenet setzen wir diesem Spuk ein Ende. Wir bergen die Netze und verwandeln sie in Upcycling-Handarbeit in unsere Armbänder und weitere Produkte. Wir spenden außerdem regelmäßig an Healthy Seas, um Bergungsmissionen sowie Präventivmaßnahmen zu finanzieren und unterstützen viele weitere Projekte zum Schutz der Meere und Meerestiere.
