  1. Bottom trawling is widespread and problematic. Gears operate by dragging large weighted nets across the ocean floor (some as wide as a 45-storey building is tall), sweeping up most of the life they encounter along the way and destroying habitat.

  11. Take it from a #Norwegian: #fishing companies are evil. They know fully well what they are doing and have made many subspecies of fish extinct for purile greed.

    The #FishFarms are 3x as evil, but still.

  16. South #ArranMarineProtectedArea have recorded the return of more than 1,500 seabed species nearly a decade after bans on #BottomTrawling and #dredging were introduced. Protected areas supported roughly twice as many species and up to three times more marine life than nearby fished zones. 🐟🌊

  26. @pezmico Thanks! To summarise:

    Videos analysed show 350 different corals and sponges, some >100 years old, on the sea plateau Lord Howe Rise. Deep-sea corals create habitats for thousands of other species. Vulnerable marine ecosystems should be comprehensively protected.

  31. SO embarrassing for New Zealand.

    Luxon is facing international backlash over his government's proposal to allow bottom trawlers to destroy more deep-sea corals in international waters without consequence.
