Waterhaul

Turning the ocean's most harmful plastic into adventure-ready eyewear that tells a story of change.

‍

While working on marine conservation projects, Harry Dennis was struck by the pervasive presence of ghost gear which are abandoned fishing nets entangling marine life across global coastlines. Recognizing both the environmental threat and the material's durability, he envisioned a solution: repurposing this resilient plastic into something meaningful.

‍

Thus, Waterhaul was born. Based in Cornwall, the team collects discarded fishing gear from UK shores, mechanically recycles it, and crafts high-quality eyewear designed for ocean adventures. Each product embodies a commitment to sustainability, featuring frames made entirely from recycled nets and lenses offering superior optical clarity.

‍

Beyond products, Waterhaul fosters community engagement through education alinitiatives like PlaNET Action, inspiring collective responsibility for marine conservation. Their transparent supply chain and traceable materials ensure that every purchase contributes to a larger purpose.

‍

At Aqua Star Network, we align with brands that intertwine environmental stewardship with innovation. Waterhaul exemplifies this ethos, turning ocean waste into functional art that empowers individuals to make a tangible impact.
