Bycatch. 2017.
Takuyu light bulbs collected from Pearl and Hermes Atoll and Lisianski Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It is very common to find 500 WATT red light bulbs (used in the squid fishing industry) floating in the open water or littered on the islands of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Derelict fishing gear is a prolific source of the marine debris overwhelming ocean ecosystems, yet commercial fisheries are not held accountable for the devastating effects that the industry has on the marine environment.
