Ben Kibel, left and right, founded
Fishtek Marine in 1999. One of its
products was ProGlow, a reusable
alternative to chemical lightsticks,
below, which are used to attract
fish such as swordfish but which are
polluting and indestructible and
wash up on beaches

Every five minutes an albatross,
right and below right, dies on a
fishing hook somewhere in the world.
The Hookpod, far right, greatly
reduces the danger to seabirds and
turtles from longline fishing hooks.

longline fishermen
