To make ocean trwaling, the destruction of our oceans and eventually all life, illegal.
Ocean trwaling is where the fishing corporations use huge 1 ton nets to drag along the bottom of the seafloor for their product.
These nets destroy coral and evrything in their path. For every one million pounds of "target" catch these companies catch they catch about 4-6 million pounds of "bycatch" which usually ends up dying. This includes dolphins, sea turtles, whales, sharks, skates, rays, and many endangered fish.
Ocean trawling leads to the waters becoming overfished and devoid of life. This will in turn effect our weather and all life on the planet.
We have to put a stop to this if we want our future generations to have any kind of enjoyable life.
