Bottom trawling

Bottom trawling is trawling along the sea floor. Bottom trawling could be compared too bulldozing forested land except the damage is down on the bottom of the sea. It really is one of the greatest threats too the survival of many aquatic species including coral.

I think if people could “see” the damage bottom trawling does too the ocean there would be more of an outcry too end it.

Bottom trawling is having an disastrous effects on the oceans ecosystems around the world.

Anyway thanks for reading

Yes, there is no doubt

that this style of fishing is causing a lot of damage to the sea floor - and helping deplete some of the sea creatures they hunt for. Another one of the follies of humans.
