Jia Yi Wong 10/04/2023 5:33 AMBottom trawling destroys the seafloor and destroys the habitat of many sea creatures, with that it also changes the natural chemistry of the ocean. From the net of bottom trawling, there are many endangered species that are accidentally captured within the net. -
Jia Yi Wong 10/03/2023 10:03 AMFloats are attached to the headrope, top of the trawl opening, while weights and special gear are attached to the footrope, bottom of the trawl opening, to keep the net open as it moves through the water across the ocean floor. The mesh is designed to confine fish inside the net, trapping them in the net as the trawl is hauled to the surface. A sweep attached to the net's footrope collects marine animals as they lay on the bottom or gather before the trawl opening. The trawling gear may be constructed and rigged for various target species over different types of bottom surfaces.
