"Proud to be from Jersey." How the exclusion of #trawling & #dredging should allow stocks of lobsters crabs & scallops to recover, & both nature & sustainable fishing to thrive. More such protection please!

Trawling restrictions not only benefits fish and shellfish; anemones and corals are also becoming more common, according to a new study from the University of Gothenburg. Twenty-six years of underwater videos from the depths of the Koster Sea also show long-term changes in the ecosystem as the water becomes warmer.
"Oceans with David Attenborough" is now on my must watch list, and I strongly recommend it be added to yours.
"the camera follows the chains of a bottom trawling net to the ocean floor. In the blue-green murk, it is a scene from a horror movie."
“It smashes its way across the seabed, destroying nearly everything in its path..."
#Attenborough’s new film is bringing audiences to tears, and one voice has gone silent in its wake: the global fishing industry.
Bottom #trawling is indefensible.
