Sampling Discarded Bycatch from Trawler

Greenpeace scientists take samples of discarded bycatch from a Spanish flagged bottom-trawler, the Ivan Nores, in the Hatton Bank area of the North Atlantic, 410 milesNorth-West of Ireland. 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'.
