Hogs don't

​@@kxkxkxkxand yet hogs don't grow to the same size or larger than whales, imagine that eh?

we have about 50 boats doing this every night where we live. the whole "ocean" where we live is simply powder sand and all corals are gone except close to the shore. There is no decent size fishes what so ever even the tiny once is hard to find. They had to apply guards to the marine protected areas to prevent the boats from pulling the nets through the little corals left They went from using dynamite to use nets :3 both is illegal here but nothing happens

@@Aeybd ocean dont care about plastic what so ever (believe it or not) it floats on the top and reach land and get stuck. the plastic that sinks dissapear into the "mud sand" which is the bottom of the ocean (first comes corals then normal sand then mud sand) What affects the water is the chemicals /products that was inside the plastic container.

@@Nickerian91 also fishing nets

@@siri5784 not sure what u reffered to since i had 2 comments :p Fishing nets that get stuck in the ocean usually fissapear into the powdersand or corals grows over it. Normal fishingnets is alright it is the active gear fishing where u pull it behind the boats that cause alot of destruction. Normal nets is not good at catching smart fishes and the fish u catch is usually determed by the hole size and most places bans nets with a mesh smaller than 3x3cm It is the most substainable fishing methode to feed the population and not harm the ocean to much.

@@Nickerian91 im just talking about nets that are just there floating in the deep water. It does take a while to sink all the way to the bottom so i reckon it may cause bigger fish problems like eating it or getting tangled in it.

Obviously they are no criminals

@@Multihaker10 it’s terrible for the planet and killing the oceans

@@user-sx2rn5sl3m And now what? Still doesn’t change the fact there are no criminals.

@@Multihaker10 This form of fishing is illegal where i live, because it's so bad for the oceans

@@Multihaker10 it is illegal in most places since u destroy the corals. In my place they would charge you with everything possible SEC. 87. Engaging in Unauthorized Fisheries Activities. SEC. 93.

LET'S SAVE COSTA RICA, NO TRAWL FISHING gf.me/u/y6k42y

"Trawling is the worst fishing method". You've obviously never heard of scallop dredging

@@capoople They both fall under the same thing (active gear fishing) which is illegal in most places thanks to its destruction of the corals

Not a single fisherman alive wants to empty the sea. They want to earn a living and still earn it in 10 years time. If you want to hear about fishermen emptying the sea go to fucking china. They have so little fish left there that they are going to argentina to fish.

@@michaelfoulis7438 you just contradicted yourself

Just confirms China needs to be wiped out

Midwater nets and shrimp bets down have wheels bottom drag nets do

The graphic is incomplete , on actual trawl gear the ground gear ( chain or bobbins in this case ) extends longer and is attached to the bottom of the trawl doors and is shorter than the foot rope of the net itself .

in many countries it is illegal however very little law enforcement

It actually helps the sea floor

Sometimes

I realy don't know about all Greenpeace's works, but this time fella, they are right

How about we just let people destroy this Earth? We Human will at some point go exctint, and many other animal species, and then a couple of thousands or million years later we would see a Earth that thrives (if any other animal doesnt become intelligent)

They're wrong about most things.

Broken clock something something twice a day.

Idk why fish are like that but I think it's because they are just naturally curious creatures and they don't know that it's a threat to them because of coarse nets aren't part of the ecosystem. Whenever I clean my fish tank sometimes my fish will swim right into the net while I'm trying to pick up dead plants and I have to wait till they swim out.

kind of cute ngl D:’

They avoid it. The machine is massively strong and can pull boulders. The design can also bounce over smaller things. The flounder may jump off the bottom but most can't get out of the way of a wide net. I dived Cape Cod bay for a few years gathering scallops until a scallop dragger came. I could see their GPS put them in a perfect pattern with very small gaps between the drags. Like a plowed field. It changed a sea garden of tv and refrigerator sized scattered boulders scattered with weeds and full of life, to a pool table desert. They were there until it wasn't enough to make any money catching. Five years later the bottom was still barren with only sand dollars. I would look for large rock patches with a sounder. Rocks a big as a truck. They dump there as they nets would foul on them. I would find a few scallops and lobsters then. If a net was badly snagged it would be cut free and catch and kill anything not small enough to swim through the net They kill forever as they don't rot but usually get so full of debris they end up buried in the sand. They essentially ruin the habitat for decades. There were some party charter flounder boats in summer that went out of business as the catches are dismal once the dragger was done wrecking the bottom. The bottom doesn't support an ecosystem for decades. The bottom becomes current swept hard sand.

@@paulgraham6353 Trawling is nothing like dredging . Fishing gear is vastly expensive , we do not deliberately tow over hard bottoms trawling , netting would not stand up to that kind of punishment , hopper or bobbin nets like in video will only pass over smooth round boulders that are semi submerged in mud or sand , if the curve of the boulder is larger than the diameter of the hopper disc it will be scooped up , simple physics . Nor do we tow around weed . weed clogs the meshes and stops the small particles of sand passing through , as the sand builds up it becomes very heavy , we use trawl doors to spread the net , and as the sand builds up in the codend because of the weed , the trawl doors lift off the bottom and the net loses its spread and stops fishing. Perhaps Paul you should find a scallop dredging video and post your comment on it . If trawling does "potentially ruin the habitat for decades " perhaps you can explain how come we have traditional fishing grounds ? surely if you are correct no trawler could ever return to the same area " for decades " think about it . Lost fishing gear is usually called ghost nets , or creels . Where i live in the world creels , or their ropes rather ,are continually drowning Basking Sharks and Minkie Whales , yet there is a push to make our coasts static gear only , a push by creelmen , in 35 years trawling I have never caught either , I know of one trawler that has once , and at least 30 occasions where static gear has . Our target species is Prawns , we avoid fish , to do that we tow at 2.5 knots allowing any fish to be able to swim back out of our net. we have 160mm mesh in the cover , and 200mm square panel in the extension . Fish boats tow upwards of 3.5 knots .

@@jonathanmcallister3611 Its good that at least one person knows what they are talking about, unfortunatly people belive these cartoons, because thats all they are. They bear no resembalance at all to a properly set up otter trawl. (and no its not used to catch otters). We are for ever seeing computer generated films of trawls crashing into reefs and wrecks , smashing them to pieces, they are about as accurate as most other cartoons.

@@jonathanmcallister3611 I totally agree with what you said about trawling. Howver where i live there are a lot of creels. They are mostly inshore where there is little danger of losing them. Gear set a few miles offshore to catch brown crabs can get towed away by trawlers. This is mostly EU trawlers who dont give a shit about us. Any british trawlers going to these areas phone the creel fishermen and get the posotion of their gear. If they do snag someones creels they always phone to say where is is located so that it can be retrieved. Most creel skippers are perfectly decent and would never leave old gear in the sea to rot and "ghost fish" there are a handful of skippers who leave gear on a bit of ground because it is old and they dont want to dispose of it, This is the main cause of ghost fishing. If the gear dumping by the few boats could be stopped it would be a huge help.

Your not gonna catch a whale or dolphin lmao

@@garrettt5699 😆😂😄

C'mon

@@garrettt5699 it happens all the time with nets

@@garrettt5699 the ship i used to work in often caught dolphins and turtles in the net. We never did anything but release them, but a friend of mine said they ate a dolphin that was caught in their net.

Exactly

Jason Ingram haha we catch lots of intresting trash dont you worry

Here in Scotland we have a scheme called " FISHING FOR LITTER " the majority of us are bringing ashore all plastics that we catch , and its working .

@@jonathanmcallister3611 Good to hear, i know a lot of spanish and french vessels dump stuff in the sea while scottish boats are bringing tons of litter back which has been caught in the nets

The majority of farmed fish is not only unhealthy for you, but generally also and environmental nightmare wherever the pens are held, or when they’re regularly breached and the invasive fish species escape into the natural environment.

This dude just said 400m x 200m 💀

@@colbyillies9567 He did and he is not far off. The nets can be very large as big as 240 metres wide and 160 metres deep but the mesh size in the mouth of the trawl are huge sometimes as big as 50 metres long.

@@panathasg13 I understand this and I am a fisherman myself but I have not once heard of anyone using a net the size of 400m x 200m. Then again it depends what boards they are using for there spread so I guess its possible but it would have to be a bloody big boat for that kind of gear.

Correct, In the north sea there are plenty of fishing areas which can be trawled every few days. All the fish dont gather in one tight area. What the trawlers take from the area is soon replaced by fish which are moving.

Yes

@Kayak & Coastal Fishing fishing is more pretty much the marine equivalent of hunting wildlife. Fish farming is well, farming.

@JD Siga its destroying their nursery ground and other species that maintain sea floor and above environment

100%, this is not a sustainable form of harvesting from the Oceans

Some country already banned this trawling. Its kill the coral and the ocean environment 😢😢😢

Can’ pull over coral, would rip the trawls, we only pull in the gulf where its all sand bottom, or muddy bottomed canals. plus, the fish are fine that have to be thrown back, its illegal to keep most fish caught in a trawl, only shrimp and baitfish.

can’t*

They dont go over coral as it rips the nets - people go on about "it destroys the coral" when this is made up to make trawling sound barbaric

just watched for geo week

Feel like a nerd now but i was lowkey interested lmao

Yet another mis informed idiot. Trawlers never trawl on coral reefs because it damages the nets. They trawl on sand mud and rock. How the fuck can you damage sand? All is does is kick some sand up which immediately falls back to the bottom and does no harm. Maybe listen to an actual fisherman rather than an armchair expert who knows fuck all about fishing.

@@michaelfoulis7438 I’m writing a scientific paper of the effects of trawling. Not only _do_ fishermen trawl where there is coral (mainly on seamounts), but there are still large amounts of organisms in sandy and muddy bottoms. The problem isn’t that you’re damaging the sand itself, you’re damaging everything that lives in it. Trawling is severly impacting benthic habitats, and many fishermen don’t care because they earn money from it.

suraj basumatary incorrect

@@jackc7521 care to explain?

superharryboy there’s rollers on the net that are designed to roll over coral, in addition it would be an investment to tow over coral without rollers, new nets every week nobody has the money for that

we discovered 5% of the ocean and your said? hahahaa

@@jackc7521 Actually trawlers dont go over coral at all becuase it will tear the nets, if they wanted to trawl there it would be banned anyway

Okay so you have bad feelings for trawling what about trolling?

I am smurching

Old people always stays on the bow of the xebec😃

@John johnson Well yes, obviously. I wrote that to try to visualize what bottom trawling is doing to the ocean floor. Most people only see the surface, easy to forget that even what we can't see is very important.

they dont kill every animal in the net. The net gets to the ship then they can throw out the un edible fish

How about don't fish at all general chicken. Fish never bothered you but the Mercury in them will

Because fishing is fun

How would you like getting your living took from you

They ban alot of things in this world....and somewhere out there is people who will still do it illegally because they don't care about the law. However yes, this method shouldn't be done.
