Bottom Trawling (news)

The practice of bottom trawling destroys entire seafloor ecosystems, used all over the world, is a way to catch fish in deeper parts of the ocean with huge, deep nets, now that many near-shore fish populations have been virtually wiped out from over-fishing. Currently this technique to fishing is beign controlled because the seafloor and a lot of species of fish are desapearing. 

Some people make manifestations against for this kind of fishing, as a result this type of fishing has decreased, but it isn't enough and environmental organizations like Greenpeace calling every day to fisheries organizations that this practice disappears.

In europe more or less 10.000 dolphins and porpoises die every year ,like them a lot of animals die and the seafloor is destroyed, a part of europe the same goes in other sites of the world (as you can see in he mape).
