A ghost net is a discarded or lost plastic fishing net that continues to drift at sea, "fishing" on its own and causing significant environmental harm, including the loss of marine life. These nets frequently wash up on beaches in Northern Australian communities, where they contribute to environmental degradation. The term "ghost net" arises from the net's "ghostly" ability to fish independently.

The Anindilyakwa artists on Groote Eylandt have turned this environmental challenge into an opportunity for artistic expression. They repurpose ghost nets into contemporary woven artworks, such as baskets and sculptures, combining them with bush-dyed fabrics and other textiles. These "new ways" artworks reflect a creative evolution of traditional practices.

As artist Annabell Amagula explains, "It started from the old ways, making baskets with Pandanus. We do the new ways now with some ghost net and fabrics. Those nets kill our bush tucker, our turtles and fish and crab. The rangers go around and pick up the net and give it to us. Our weaving carries the story."

These works not only embody the blend of traditional and contemporary techniques but also serve as a powerful narrative of environmental awareness and cultural resilience.

Surprising
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
It’s a heavier cotton, but like it very much will wear it in warm temps as well as colder. Was true to size and the small amt. of stretch makes it very comfortable. Shocked at the price,I purchased fully expecting a bit of dissatisfaction.

knocked 3 stars off because no shirt pocket
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Two stars because there's no pocket. Shirt is actually nice otherwise but I was so focused on finding shirts with button-down collars (so my Sony WXB400 headphones don't escape) that I didn't notice these didn't have a pocket. I always carry a fountain pen so I need that, also for my phone if I'm not wearing cargo shorts with a "technology" pocket. If pockets are important to you, this shirt should suffice. Price is right.

Great purchase
Size: Large, Color: Blue Shark-white
Shirt was the perfect gift for my 21 year old son. The small pattern was perfect and he said that made the shirt cool. The material is comfortable and light enough for warm weather without feeling cheap. Shirt is versatile with the ability to dress up or down.
