Behind the motto “Sareak, saving the ocean is our game” unused nets have been retrieved from the sea in order to turn them into soccer goal nets.

Every year, 640,000 tons of fishing nets end up on the bottom of our oceans. Panthalassa, in cooperation La Liga football club Real Sociedad and with the sponsorship of Salto Systems, have launched the “Sareak” initiative in which abandoned nets are retrieved from the bottom of the sea, from the ports and warehouses, and then up-cycled into soccer goal nets by local fisherwomen.
