The visceral, heart-wrenching footage featured in the clip is the first time the process of bottom trawling has been filmed in such high quality and the immense scale of trawling’s destruction revealed. Iron chains bulldoze across the seabed, leaving trails of devastation in their wake that are visible from space.As Attenborough declares, “If we save the sea, we save our world.”posted bythecincinnatikidat 3:32 PM -13 comments
