Coral Eyewear is the brainchild of 21-year-old student, George Bailey, who, concerned about the damaging effects to the sea of discarded fishing nets, came up with the idea of using them to make stylish and recyclable eyewear. It is estimated that 600,000 tonnes of nets are abandoned in our oceans every year, taking up to a staggering 600 years to break down. This marine ‘litter’ causes all kinds of hazards for sea life - apart from obvious ingestion, World Animal Protection estimates that just one abandoned net can entangle up to 40 marine animals every year.
