Bottom-trawling video
This is a video showing a bottom-trawler (dragger) clear-cutting the ocean floor. The U.K., the U.S., Australia and many other countries are asking the world to listen to scientists and support a temporary U.N. moratorium on bottom-trawling in international waters. A moratorium would give scientists time to find seamounts, deep-sea corals, and other fragile fish habitats before they are destroyed by bottom-trawling. Also, because it can take years to put fishing regulations in place, a moratorium is needed to protect these habitats before they are destroyed. Although many countries support a moratorium, Canada's Conservative government and Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn (Min@dfo-mpo.gc.ca) have said that Canada will not join the world in supporting a moratorium. Without Canada's support, a moratorium will likely be defeated at the U.N. in December 2006. You can see Canadians supporting a moratorium at www.deepseas.blogspot.com and you can learn more about the issue at www.savethehighseas.org
The Truth About Bottom Trawling
Bottom trawls drag huge, heavy nets along the sea floor, crushing nearly everything in their path. See the destruction first hand by watching our bottom trawling video.

Trawling The Ocean Dead
Canada is trawling the ocean dead by dragging the ancient sea bottom relentlessly year round until the coral habitats, fish nurseries and underwater seamounts are gone. Trawling is one of the most destructive industrial activites that man has ever committed on the generous environment. Never eat fishsticks, scallops or anything trawled please.
