Bottom trawling

[Vickybookgirl]

This is all about getting your "green dollar" in their pockets. Fishing has been going on for generations and that wouldn't happen if it was as destructive as Greenpeace etc say. All food production has a price. Fruit and vegetables are produced on land that was once rainforest etc and are driven to market in vehicles that use fossil fuels.People live on land that was once pristine. If the land based food producers were treated the same way SeaFOOD producers are there would be nothing to eat.

[Emlovesmnms]

this would be like getting a huge net and spreading it out over a huge distance if we were hunting for say deer on land, and having all types of animals, plants, trees etc getting caught and ripped out the ground, then throwing them all away and only keeping the deer, if people used that to hunt on land it would not be acceptable, so hows it ok to do this in the sea?

[strikenetter]

Trawling is the least effective method of commercial fishing , but these fisherman are just trying to make a living the best way they know how, to feed their families. A change may be in order but yet all types of commercial fishing are in jeopardy due to special interest groups with specific interests in mind, such as eliminating comm. fishing all together. I help feed the world, what do u do ?

[surrealnumber]

on most issues i dont agree with the eco-humanitarian types, but this shit is wrong and needs to stop for everyone's sake.

[loveunderlaw]

Greed is killing our planet, pisses me

right the f**k off!

[HolySpringRolls]

fine, sea bed, coral reef. same shit, different ass.

[Brizco888]

WOW..i myself am a sportfisherman...and i practice CPR (Catch Picture Release)as much as i can...but this :( is just aweful!!

They really should stop raping the ocean like this....This makes me SAD :(

[trevordd]

If we were destroying habitat like this above the sea, it would be illegal. Only stupid people don't care about such things, because they're too dumb to imagine things that they can not see with their fat stupid eyes. And if you family making a living from it is your excuse, then again, you a dumbass. That's an excuse used by slave owners, fur trappers, and other exploiters.  My advise would be to get a real job you lazy asshole. GFY

[smokincookiemonsta]

fukn pro fisherman...

this is about orange roughys....

which are almost gone you dickheads... so fuk you and every1 like you..

i am a keen fisho as well and you guys disgust me...

fair enough greenpeace have a tendency to be wankers too but at least they have principles other than destroying whole biomasses of fish for a few bucks(A FEW...my family has fished for years and none of my uncles have made a fortune ...) why don't you move to japan and hunt whales, the moneys probably better...

[guitarmanseaner]

i do very well, thank you. not one specieas in the south east has been put on the endangerd list due to shrimp trawling. get your facts strait.

[deweaver314]

BS: sea turtles were on the endangered list which is why the shrimp boats were forced to use TED's on their nets.

[guitarmanseaner]

correct, and as a result of teds, they are no longer.another example of commercial shrimping working with local regulations to protect habbitat

[guitarmanseaner]

Thank you fellow fisherman, we need a campaign against this unfactual cruisade. somebody hit me up lets it rollin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lobstacatcha]

its people like you that would'nt have a job if wern't for us fisherman....your assholes and you need to focus on whats between your legs and let whats been going on for the last 200 years be...nmfs and you need to leave mother nature alone....how can you sleep at night when you know your tryin to ruin our lives...been fishing for 30 years thats were my college was long hard days on the briney deep....

[brocherbill1987]

how deep is the water how much of the earth is made up of seas how much has been harmed in this way! if the grounds are damaged go sumwhere else to look at the seabed u fannys! my dad has been at the fishing for 28 yeers and if he cant fish i wouldnt be able to live!

[HolySpringRolls]

there are lots of other jobs to support your family other than fishing. and they are less costly. and you can do them near your home. and they dont harm the environment.

[Zachry86]

Its amazing how many people posting comments here does not care or understand what this is doing.

[Thegouch1]

green peace r a shower of pussies,tow away and ruin da sea bed,its only fish down there anyway,i dont have ta look at it. who gives a fuck anyway,green peace wankers

[HolySpringRolls]

trawling ruins coral reefs and makes it more difficult for fish to reproduce. where are you going to get more fish to feed the world? can you comprehend that or are you too supid?

[fishface1984]

thay should stop the deep sea trawlers and beamers,the under 10 meter boats are ok,on the south coast the fishing is getting better and better cos the big boats are going.the e u should sort the fucking selfs out.

[Fee43SoulSacrifice]

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!! "fishing is a way of life" IF ANCIENT UNDERWATER SEALIFE ISN'T A WAY OF LIFE THEN WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!

[albacorecrab]

No idiot in there right mind would bottom traul on that shit on purpose. They would haul up shredded nets. I saw the Rainbow Warior anchored in Dutch Harbor this summer and it was all I could do not to fire a couple rounds in her hull like the good old days!!

[DanielMcCay]

Greenpeace people are fuckin faggots who i would like to tie an anchor to their ankles and catch thhem in a bottom trawl... you fuckin pieces of shit.. go cry about something else... like your pathetic lives.

[somethingcory]

Wow "braxlvsmotox", I'm so glad you took the time to make such a coherent comment. You made a valid point and you made it in a very respectful, polite way.

Thank you for sharing.

I wish you could hear the sarcasm in my voice.

[mickandfra]

Lads,cop on to your selves,fishing is a way of life and it is NOT GOING TO STOP cos a few wankers who know no better have an oul whinge cos a few corals get torn up. Lighten up,they'll grow again,drink a few pints of guinness next time your in Ireland and you'll forget all about it. You can watch the boats go out the harbour while you drink your pint and eat some nice fish ha ha. Up Canada & Ireland

[HolySpringRolls]

it takes around hundred years for coral reefs to form. trawling destroys them in a day. there are no fish around trawled areas and they have to go fishing into international seas. can you comprehend why trawling is bad or are you too stupid?

people from my town can feed themselves and my orphanage without trawling. I hope others can do the same.

[Gaunnyno]

Good on you! Great video & thanks for using the likes of You Tube to get this message out there!

Keep it up!

[braxlvsmotox]

ARRRR!! >:( FUCK OFF!!!!!!! IF WE DONT FISHING HOW R U TWATS GOING 2 HAV UR FISH "N" CHIPS A?????? I HATE GREEN PEACE!!!! ALSO THEY ALL WAYS GONE ON ABOUT 4X4 WHEN THEY HAV 4X4!!!! WOT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT??? arrrr

IT IS R WAY OF LIFE U PRICK!!!!! my dad was a trawllermen his dad n his dad so no SO FUCK U!!!!>:(

[albacorecrab]

right on brother!!!!

[HolySpringRolls]

humans can survive without fish and chips. chips is unhealthy and oceans are so polluted that eating fish is too toxic. unless if concentrated mercury and lead in fish meat is your thing.

why is it wrong for them to raise awareness about air pollution that kills people? yes, they have 4x4 and they drive them on DIFFICULT ROADS. where are you driving your suvs? on smooth roads? they dont forbid driving a gas guzzler.

according to your spelling to seem to be too stupid to comprehend anything

[eddietwang]

im sure we could invent some chemical that could kill the coral faster..come on boffins stop pissing about and kill that coral!!..or we will invite the spanish fishing fleet..

[ctswim]

more people need to see videos like this.

[kleivaramp]

fuck green peace! we are sopose to fish! thats why we got fish!fuck the reefs!

[eddietwang]

when you dont have any fish left to catch you might have to catch yourself a brain so you know what a short sighted twat you are..every fishing ground in the world is on the verge of collapse...that means "no more fish"turd breath.

[micho0305]
