WATCH: A tale of peril, an apocalypse which destroys the depths and scours the seafloor… But this is not a work of fiction. Bottom trawling is a highly destructive, government sanctioned method of fishing, and it’s happening now, in our marine ‘protected’ areas. Giant, heavy nets are dragged across the seafloor for kilometres, destroying everything in their path. Sealife is dumped overboard as bycatch, dead or dying, in the relentless pursuit of profit. Ancient coral gardens, delicate seagrass meadows, beautiful seafloor fish – trawling destroys it all, indiscriminately. It is damaging and unsustainable, both to marine ecosystems and the climate it releases plumes of carbon into. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the clock is ticking. Commit to protecting all MPAs from bottom trawling NOW. #BanBottomTrawling Patagonia Blue Marine Foundation Seas At Risk Greenpeace UK Marine Conservation Society Oceana Oceana in Europe Finisterre GRIPPING FILMS LIMITED Tom Mustill Hugo Tagholm

Watch this insightful video showing how @HP and the WWF have teamed up to save more than one million acres of the Atlantic rainforest, which benefits not just the local communities but the world itself.
