If you run a net along the bottom of the sea or river it may catch what you are looking for but while it is doing that it is also disturbing the bed that supports plant life and a myriad of other interdependent forms of life.

How can you prevent trawling?

Most places where trawling is still an issue the only way to prevent trawling is taking extensive research of species change in the oceans due to trawling and presenting the reasearch to the local government. This will take a long time however if legislation is put in place to stop trawling there can be great benefits to the environement. Schemes like this are ongoing in countries like Cambodia where the compant is working with the government to prevent trawling and protect seahorse and nudibranch.

Why are fishermen trawling?

Although trawling, a fishing method that involves dragging a fishing net through the water by boat, is an ecologically disruptive method of fishing, it is also one of the most economically viable fishing techniques. Trawling utilizes large nets which, because they don't discriminate between fish species, catches a lot of bycatch. Bottom trawling, a method in which a net is dragged through the sea floor, is even more damaging (it shatters coral reefs, inhibits seaweed growth, etc.). However, all types of trawling catch numerous amounts of fish in each swipe through. Because it allows fishermen to capture many fish in a small amount of time, fishermen take advantage of it.

What we're the trouble that caused muai's dolphin extinct?

They are critically endangered with only less then 500 left in the wild. One of their biggest threats in the gill nets and fishing nets in the sea. Another threat is bottom trawling. Bottom trawling destroys around 20% of the ocean bottom every time it is used. Bottom trawling not only destroys the dolphin's habitat but also it's food sources'. The food source would decrease because of lack of habitat resulting in the dolphin's population decreasing. The dolphins tend to eat and be attracted to the bycatch of the major fishing boats off of the coast of New Zealand. Since they are attracted to the bycatch, it causes them to move closer to the boats. When they move closer, they increase the risk of a motor accident or getting caught in the gill nets. Hope this helps.. =]
