@leafyhistory.bsky.social Splendid image & anecdote! I'd love to encounter a giant skate - & see more skate - we should end the #BottomTrawling that destroys their habitat!

Blue Marine ambassadors Theo James & Stephen Fry star in grotesque new film exposing the UK’s dirty #fishing secret.

The UK Government has now launched its consultation on the closure of 30,000sq Km of England’s waters. Add your voice via link on page.

🧐"bottom #trawlers hv been working at #sea for more than a century, but nobody had ever seen tis scene before. No diver wld survive where te #cameras were.. It is a nightmare vision of #massdeath & #destruction..
The worst of it is tt while the #official #UN goal is to have 30% of the world’s #oceans in ‘maritime protected areas’ by 2030, most of those #MPAs still allow #bottom #trawling."

For this upcoming #WorldOceansDay (June 8) we want to draw your attention to one of the ocean’s most destructive threats: #BottomTrawling.

Dragging massive nets across the seafloor destroys vital habitats, harms marine species like seahorses, and jeopardizes the livelihoods of small-scale fishers.

Bottom trawling wrecks the ocean floor, killing everything in its path!

We’re working to protect marine life and end destructive fishing practices.

#BottomTrawling

Global #BottomTrawling emits as much #carbon as aviation and costs society up to €11 billion annually in #Europe alone, where governments subsidize it with an extra €1.3 billion. The practice imposes a big #climate & ecological toll and is bad for sustainability: doi.org/10.1016/S254... #fisheries

Redirecting

Just saw David Attenborough’s Ocean 🌊 and was shocked by the destruction caused by bottom trawling—legal even in UK "protected" waters. 😔

With the UN ocean conference on June 9, now WE can push for change. Scientists say 30% ocean protection is the minimum we need—let’s make sure the UK leads the way.

Write to your MP https://writetothem.com for a commitment to fully protect 30% of UK seas. 🌊🇬🇧

Please, don't let economic greed ruin our planet! In this case, our oceans.

Out take of David Attenborough's 'Ocean'.

Divers know what things look like down under the waves. But most people just see the glittering surface, and are completely unaware of what's going on with their drive to cheap fish from factory ships.

Underwater deforestation. Far more devastating then you think !
Help me out ['have not yet an answer]:
❓ would 'pulse fishing' be a reasonable alternative ❓

Quote by NS:
"May 16, 2025
Bottom trawling is a fishing method where large, heavy nets are dragged across the seafloor by one or two boats to catch fish and other marine life that live on or near the bottom.
This method was known to destroy sea life and habitats but now a landmark study has found that bottom trawling responsible for injecting up to 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year; with trawling in East China, Baltic, North Sea and Greenland Sea have largest climate footprints.
