Stop the Trawler
Published by Shaktiva on Nov 05, 2009
Trawlers devastate life in oceans which build up for millennia in minutes! Sea-beds gone empty; derived of grounds to flourish, to grow, to multiply, to create oxygen.
Life started out in the oceans, we have no clue what we are destroying. What is gone will not be replaced in our lifetime, in affect this means that sooner or later they'll have to stop anyway. Rather now then when we passed the point of no return. Trawlers rob native fishermen from their food, their income, in affect stealing from the poor, causing them to rely more on richer nations to lend much needed assistance.
We don't need tons of food. We don't need creatures of 150 years or older turned into cattle-food. We want the numbers of by-catch reduced. We want huge commercial seafood trade diminished to responsible fishing techniques. Many doubt global warming is caused by mankind but trawlers are without any doubt means of destruction of oceans, of life, of cultures and we can't let them continue with a clear mind.
We suggest this: maximum size of nets and the abolishment of 'bottom ploughing gears' to save our oceans from overfishing and destruction. We the undersigned demand the regulations needed to stop this vast destruction of oceans. Thanks for reading this and please sign this petition.
