Name: Sean Gudgeon on Mar 9, 2007Comments: Oceans are an immeasurable resource to us and one we dont even fully understand. Bottom trawling is like clearcutting a tropical rainforest without even having looked at the forest, or contemplating the environmental hazards or long term eco-calamities. Why does this happen Because it is an issue that people believe is over and done with, the oceans are f**ked, and there's nothing anyone can do, let the fisheries run themselves dry. There ARE other options, and it is important that people, governments, and international bodies (the UN, ect) realize this.Flag

Name: May Abu-Shaban on Mar 11, 2007Comments: There are clearly several alternatives available that are much less detrimental to the environment! This method of fishing is not as common as the other methods as it is, so the small percentage of fishermen who use this method conforming to the the methods used by the majority can't be that difficult to achieve. Please make bottom trawling illegal!Flag

Name: Christel Wilkat on Mar 28, 2007Comments: Bottom-trawling is one of the most destructive and cruedest forms of commerical fishing. It destroys everything in its path annihilating whole ecosystems. Our oceans are not indestructable and need our help. They are fragile and if we are not careful we are going to destroy this planet beyond the point of restoration.Flag

Name: Katharina Brown on May 7, 2007Comments: I've worked on scientific diving surveys to assess the effects of bottom trawlers - the damage is devastating and heartrenching to experience. Controls and protected areas are way overdue! If it is left much longer there will be nothing left to worry about or make a living from.Flag

Name: Kirsty Ball on May 7, 2007Comments: bottom trawling has lasted for so long because the general public are unaware of the real destruction that it does to our seas. This method of fishing needs to be stopped, not reduced, just stopped. human consumerism and greed is destroying all that is natural and beautiful with this world. its about time that we showed mother nature that we respect and love her. stop the killing.Flag

Name: Dawn Abbott on May 16, 2007Comments: This is a terrible practice. There is such an array of wonderful life on the bottom of the ocean, some of which we haven't even discovered yet, and all of which plays a vital role in the ocean system as a whole! Let's stop bottom trawling, and we will be one step closer to a better world!Flag
