Re: Denizens of the Deep

slowly humans are destroying everything on this planet.

Bottom trawling: Industrial trawlers once avoided coral reefs and other rocky regions of the ocean floor because their nets would snag and tear. But the introduction of rockhopper trawls in the 1980s changed this. These trawls are fitted with large rubber tires or rollers that allow the net to pass easily over any rough surface. The largest, with heavy rollers over 75cm in diameter, are very powerful, capable of moving boulders weighing 25 tonnes. Now, most of the ocean floor can be trawled down to a depth of 2,000m.

These trawls - whose use is now widespread - are extremely damaging. In an experiment off Alaska, 55% of cold-water coral damaged by one pass of a trawl had not recovered a year later. Scars up to 4km long have been found in the reefs of the north-east Atlantic Ocean. And in heavily fished areas around coral seamounts off southern Australia, 90% of the surfaces where coral used to grow are now bare rock. When covered with marine life, these seabed areas provide habitat for juvenile fish and other species. Like removing forest, removing this cover decreases the area available for marine species to live and thrive in.

Re: Denizens of the Deep

Humans are the problem. No other creature on earth farms other animals, tortures, molests or obliterates quite like we do.

We are killing the planet and everything in it.
We suffer under the delusion it is ours for the taking (thanks bible, you worthless piece of misinformation)
The only way earth and it's flora and fauna can survive would be if every or almost all human life ceased to exist.
If you look at the planet from space at night, all the lights concentrated and spread out over the globe looks like an infestation, because that's what it is, we are a parasite.
