Well i guess bottom trawling are here to stay. But its better to make a trawl that climb over rocks than towing the rocks along PLOWING the bottom destroying both a big area + destroying the trawl. I wish we had such rock climbers back in say 1970s when i worked on a 50 feet shrimp trawler wit just a chain and a few used car tires follow the bottom🤔 Things got a bit scary a few times for example when we say got a rusty mine from ww2 in the trawl, and had to call in the coast guard to tow it away and detonate it by adding a c4 charge to it. Becouse they said it was to dangerous to say disarm it even though the mines detonation spikes was all rusted-corroded away, so it didnt go off in the trawl ore on deck. 😉
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing!
Where is this net available please reply

Disgusting how damaging this is. No corner of the ocean floor is safe.
You a idiot who knows nothing
