‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected UK waters ‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink’ say campaigners, arguing that overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’

In the four years to 2024, #trawlers using vast nets, including those that scour the seabed, caught more than 1.3m tonnes of #fish in MPAs, according to official figures that campaigners say show they are “little more than lines on a map”. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"THREE BOATS
The boat of the past sailed
To reach the Golden Shore.
The boat of the present sails
To see the Face of God.
The boat of the future shall sail
To become the Heart of God.”

Industrial trawlers have scoured an area larger than Ireland off B.C. coast, group says Kevin Lester, a geographic information systems specialist who worked on the project, said the idea came about due to the decline of species off the B.C. coast.

‘Nothing left’: Irish whale-watching company closes amid ‘overfishing’ Sprat fishing has disrupted the food chain and diverted humpback, minke and fin whales as well as dolphins

“A small number of greedy fishermen with huge trawlers have overfished the sprats to the point of near extinction. There is nothing left for the whales to prey upon so they have moved on in search of prey elsewhere.”

The Undersea Art Gallery That Ensnares Illegal Trawlers Trailing weighted nets across the seabed wrecks fish stocks and kills carbon-capturing seagrasses—but one fisherman’s sculpture project has turned the tide.
