The Ghost nets of the sea By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds You guys have probably seen fishermen’s nets, right? Well this
story is about those nets. Sometimes when the rope attached to
the net breaks on a rock, and the net just floats off into the
sea catching everything and killing them. Some fishes that are
frequently caught in drift nets are turtles, corals, sharks and
all kinds of big fish. These are really big problems for these
sharks because sharks are unable to swim backwards. They can only
swim forward. When fish are caught in this net, they can’t eat
because the net gets entangled around their head, and they can’t
breathe because the gills are filled with the net. This is a story
about a Nuku Momi and what he did when he saw one of these nets. After swimming around the ocean, the Nuku Momi swam to the edge and looked over and saw one of these nets. When he looked he saw one of these nets fall into the deep sea because it was filled with dead fish. He saw big sharks and some turtles and he was filled with sadness. “Oh no!” said the Nuku Momi and he waited a little while longer. Before he left another net was just making its way back up because it seems that all the dead stuff had fallen off and the net could float again. He followed the net carefully for a while so that he wouldn’t get stuck in the ghost net. He looked at how scary the net looked and then he saw a turtle eating algae and floating around right in the direction that the net was drifting. He quickly swam to the turtle and told him, “Eh turtle! Be aware, you are about to be eaten by the ghost net.” The turtle turned around and quickly swam out of its path. If the Nuku Momi didn’t tell the turtle that the net was coming he would’ve been caught in the net. When the Nuku Momi reached home, he saw a bundle on his door and it was a present from the turtle. The letter read, “Mahalo” The end. |
