The crew of the vessel said they spent more than an hour pulling the plastic from the water

A crab-fishing vessel has pulled what its crew has described as "miles" of plastic line from the sea. The crew of the Nimrod TO30, based at Newlyn, Cornwall, found the pollution while fishing south of the Isles of Scilly.Skipper Ben Rowse said: "That plastic would have been in the sea for God knows how many years if we didn't."The skipper said if it had been left the plastic "would have easily killed thousands of animals"

Mr Rowse, of the Real Cornish Crab Co, said he believed it "would have easily killed thousands of animals".He said the company hoped to contribute to "growing a population of fishermen who respect the ocean will help to protect sealife and preserve fish stocks for future generations".Follow BBC News South West on
