Bottom Trawling is a type of fishing where a net scrapes along the bottom of the ocean forcing all marine life to go into their nets. They often try to catch shrimp and squid but are unprecise and messy. In some cases this means that over half of the marine life caught is thrown back out into the sea, dead or dying. The result is an ocean bottom stripped of life that will take years to be repopulated by it's original inhabitants.
