Arctic Under Pressure: Deep Sea Life

Environmental organisation Greenpeace has been exploring the ocean floor around Svalbard up in the high Arctic. The expedition is highlighting an ecosystem which has never been seen before but is threatened by encroaching fishing operations.

There's a lot of hope for mankind's ease on the earth and re-nourishment of lands and lives that have been damaged, or sadly lost. A lot of aspects are in need of a general absorbtion from malicious or harmful practices and farming. Personally as a vegan I support any acts that are to cause the revealing and publicising the truth of abuse and exploitation farm animals endure, along-side of domestic abuse towards animals. There is a lot that needs to be done, for the oceanlife and back home.

Muy buena labor de Greenpeace. Debemos intentar concienciar a la sociedad que estamos destruyendo las maravillas del planeta Tierra antes de que sea demasiado tarde, hay que salvar la vida de los oceános...

Get a contract to spike and harvest sea ice over the sites worth protecting? Settling ice will give you a large exclusion zone and purpose for the site to pay for its protection.

Thanks for the video.

Nice shots of the rusty trawlers. Is that first one (Martha Arendsee) a former German (DDR?) vessel now with a Russian flag?

A bit of googling quickly showed that the second trawler is basically a fishmeal trawler (mostly Blue whiting and Capelin) owned by the Russian state (JSC Arkhangelsk Trawl Fleet) allowed to work in Norwegian waters with no real monitoring. So wrong :(
