The sea is like a minefield: Why illegal fish traps are a crisis in Italy’s Mediterranean

In the warm, blue waters of the Mediterranean off Italy’s coast, a hidden threat lies just beneath the surface. Fishermen, environmentalists, and authorities are increasingly alarmed by the growing presence of illegal fish traps—some of which stretch for kilometers and go entirely undetected until it’s too late.
