Erub Arts has been working with ghost net since 2010. From a practical beginning in creating bags, Erub Arts are now recognised for large-scale collaborative installations featuring marine animals that are found on reefs and in deep water which surrounds Erub. Erub Arts has built an international reputation with ghost net. The artwork is striving to create awareness in supporting ocean and wildlife health and well-being. As a global solution to this challenge, Erub Arts has the capacity to plan and engage with conservation groups, museums and collectors on a world stage.
Ghost Net Art uses reclaimed fishing nets that have been abandoned or lost to create works of art and large scale installations, sending a conservation message to the world. "We are all connected by the oceans of the world so we must all work together towards their protection."
