 Bottom Trawling: the hard evidence | Greenpeace International
Greenpeace along with more than a thousand scientists are supporting the call for a moratorium on high seas bottom trawling, because of the vast amount of marine life that is destroyed by this fishing method.
Many other species were also suffering cruel, wasteful and unnecesssary deaths, some of which were rarely sighted creatures including deep sea sharks and squid, and others which were commercially valuable fish species left to die because they were not the intended catch for this trawler.
This is yet further evidence that an immediate moratorium on high seas bottom trawling is needed to protect the unique biodiversity of the deep sea.
