Read this very interesting NYT article today about trawlers and degradation of the marine environment. Recently there was a thread about what to do with Fluke bycatch in the trawling fishery. It is a very important issue by itself but I think the bigger issue is included in this article. Does this form of commercial harvest need to be addressed? I have nothing against responsible commercial harvest but it might be time to phase this method out and use another method. The attached photos are amazing.
