Bottom-trawling boats, the majority from EU countries, drag fishing gear weighing several tonnes across the seabed, destroying marine wildlife and devastating life on underwater mountains - or 'seamounts'.Greenpeace is demanding a UN moratorium on bottom trawling on the high seas.Locations:Atlantic Ocean-Hatton Bank-North Atlantic OceanDate:24 Oct, 2004Credit:© Greenpeace / Kate DavisonMaximum size:4064px X 2704pxKeywords:Bottom trawlers-Bottom Trawling-Bycatch-Day-Death-Fishing (Industry)-Greenpeace crew-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-One person-OutdoorsShoot:Atlantic Sea Mounts and Bottom Trawling TourGreenpeace ship Esperanza tours Atlantic waters searching for and intercepting bottom trawling fishing vessels during a campaign to highlight the destruction caused by this controversial form of fishing.Related Collections:Atlantic Sea Mounts and Bottom Trawling Tour (Photo & Videos)
