  • Im at a loss to state the least, do these activists obtain their information from marine biologists, the one's who proclaim to be educated to a degree sufficient to obtain information regarding fish stocks and populations? The ones who proclaim scientific information available to prolong and or ensure the survival of marine species? Why is it in N.C. USA fishermen are still required and at times forced to needlessly catch bycatch? Forced! Either there is a cognitive dissonance here, or.........

  • Also I would love to see you spend your own money on your highly misleading facts you idiots put together! Too bad its not that easy as throwing you over board just like bycatch is!

  • Why would you ever want to drag on a coral reef! You have got to be kidding me I grantee you that you never been on a boat busting your ass for 3 day straight! You really are one of the biggest losers and thanks to you high misinformed information that you losers put together we wouldn't have to throw bycatch over because of your stupid ass regulations! Just remember you put commercial fishermen out of business you are putting yourself out of business! dumb ass

  • Pretty humorous how fishermen in NC USA are unable to harvest a numerous amount of species with a hook and line but trawlers are protected by biological law. Even cast nets aren't listed as commercial fishing gear on commercial trip tickets( recorded landing forms). By the way, fishermen are still lawfully mandated to use a net size implemented by the FWC in FL USA which has a bycatch rate of 98%. The truth about bycatch is the majority of the problem resides in our fisheries management!

  • That music is getting to me

  • maybe if you unrealistic tree hugging wankers spent your money trying to work with the industry to improve methods and practices because we all like eating fish. to paint our hoki like that is disgracful to new zealand as it is one of the most sustainable fish stocks in the world and it was the japanesse and russian trawler working here before the quota system that nearly distroyed it. now every season there is more and more hoki so get @#!*ed

  • there are no dolphins or whales caught in new zealand in hoki nets or any other trawls in new zealand and the by catch in the hoki season is very minimal. im not going to disagree about the seals and birds but alot of time and money has been spent on prevention and results are showing the seals need to be killed off a bit anyway as they themselfs are over fishing coastlines where fishing boats are not allowed to fish . new zealand has a great fishing stock and a working quota system that works

  • fuck tune fisherman cos this thing is fuckin cruel!!!

  • Hey Greenpeace, perhaps you should research the FWC in Florida and study their net requirements mandated for the fisherman. The nets fisherman are required to use have a 98 % bycatch rate. This is no estimation or exaggeration, this is biological data conducted by FWC biologists. WHO'S BEING WASTEFUL?

  • funnyhaha, you are correct, large industrial fishing operations are destructive. The majority of this is overseas and in international waters. Yet these large wasteful ships have little restrictions as small family owned fishing vessels are facing extinction !

  • commercial fishing is destructive and wasteful when there are too many companies trying to do it, and when many of them just want to make a profit regardless of what harm they do. Find a new career, or figure out how to fish sustainably.

  • Today, 1500 lbs of spiny dogfish ! BYCATCH ? 1 starfish and a plastic bag !! One was kept and the other released alive ! Night before last, 716 lb of mullets. Bycatch = 1 lb of gizzard shad ! Sold him as crab bait. BYCATCH ???? Not all comm. fishing operations have bycatch, though the intent of this video is to project a sense of wastefulness throughout the entirety of global comm. fishing ! Love it !!!

  • The truth about about bycatch is that fishermen are forced to dump fish because they are trying to stay within the unrealistic quotas the politicians and scientists have set for them. They face massive fines if they overshoot these quotas.

    One positive thing about bycatch is that millions of seabirds would die of starvation if the fishermen did not discard anything.

  • I caught 300 lbs of fish last night and had 2 lbs of bycatch, 2 unwanted fish weighing 1 lb a piece ! 2 lbs out of 300 is pretty effective and harmless i do believe ! Have never caught a mammal or a turtle and never will in my method of comm. fishing. Not all commercial fishing is destructive or wasteful when in fact my type of fishing is in more jeopardy than trawling because supposedly i pose a threat to rec. sportfish, drum, speckle trout, flounder, etc. do not believe all the lies !!!!!!

  • where did the data from the 862 killings of seals come from !!! all recorded or did you see one killed and then multiplied the one to all the fishing vessels and then multiply that by the number of trips ??? Most of this data is false , hearsay, and want !! this multiplication data is bullshit !!! get your facts and your TRUE data straight on these " estimations " witness these estimations first hand as a fisherman !!

  • don't get me wrong, want to be a conservationist and all but, 1:55 an estimated ....... this is BS ! this is not data, estimations, i could do that sittin at home !! all the " bycatch " spoke of, what do you think happens to it , many sea creatures take advantage of this " bycatch" thrown over, it becomes food for other marine mammals, yes trawling is the least effective strategy in comm. fishing in my oppinion , but when it comes to data, NO ESTIMATIONS, get the exact numbers !!!! BS

  • im dion this project for school on bycatching can any1 help me out

  • If you really care about living on a planet that can sustain us, then you need to infiltrate mega companies like Monsanto, Kimberly-Clark, Halliburton and so many others. Destroy them from within. TAKE THEM DOWN. You have the strength and intelligence to stop them.

  • Well not really. Strength and intelligence doesn't equal the kind of cash these companies have for marketing. And you can't beat the consumer. These videos are great, but dang I'm not gonna stop eating fish. All the Crabs, Oysters, and Clams I eat are local though. Some of that stuff they threw back they coulda eaten that day. Octopus!! hell yeah. I'd try one of those black things with scary teeth. There could be a market for em.

  • Why is Monsanto Bad?

  • If you'd like to know more about Monsanto, watch the "The Future of Food" on Hulu. There is also a wealth of information all over YouTube and other sources on the Internet.

  • How do I find a non Bias source. Because most of the things I find don't seem very reliable.

  • i would bait a landline for those seals if i lived there they taset grrrreat.

  • it is so disgusting what people do to animals, they have a right to exist more than we do so stop killing you worthless peices of shit you deserve to die

  • I really want to stop this!

    it makes me sick!

  • Yes I was on a factory trawler for 3 months,it makes you feel ill watching the destruction.I think its not so bad if fishing is kept localised,although the human race is no different to any other animal,when it runs low on food large numbers die.Thats evolution and the only fact of life.
