Digging into underwater crevices with equipment that hops over rocks and using technology that allows them to reach increasingly deeper on the edges of the continental shelf, the trawler fleet is designed to haul in a wealth of cod and other species. But the bottom dragging gear can't avoid the coral and sponge reefs, which once broken up are unlikely to recover for centuries, Ms. Lash said.
Did you know that it would take that long for coral and sponges, or reefs in general, to recover?
Isn't there a better way, perhaps more technologically reff friendly way, to go about the fishing business?
It seems as if the fishing business is always behind the horrible reef stories that we hear.
