Work to remove illegal fishing net from HMS Scylla will take longer than thought

It could take weeks to remove an illegal fishing net which has become entangled around the wreck of HMS Scylla off Plymouth.

Divers took off a small portion today, but the aquarium says it is almost invisible and therefore presents a real danger to divers.

The local fishing community has now offered to help.

A number of different fish and cormorants have also become trapped in the net.
