Bottom trawling is causing terrible damage to the fragile aquaculture of oceans. It has proven scientifically that slow-growing ecosystem of the deep is adversely affected by the trawling.
The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC), has condemned the Northern fishing nations, the European Community, South Korea, and Russia for not paying their accountability about the deep sea-life in the South Pacific reason.
Matthew Gianni of the DSCC said:
All along the science has shown us that bottom trawling on the high seas needs to stop, until we can be sure it’s not damaging unique deep sea life. This new research is the most emphatic yet - high seas bottom trawling is destroying vulnerable ecosystems. Most countries in the world support a moratorium of some kind, it’s time for the remaining few who oppose action to step out of the way.
The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) is currently monitoring more than 60 conservation organizations from across the globe. The organization is urging to ruminate over the issue immediately as trawling in the deep sea is destroying the some endangered species of coral reefs and one of the rare habitats of oceans. A meeting convened in Hobart a few days back, made some consensus to from a South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO).
