Blame Canada...

Today in class we discussed Ocean floor trawling. This is a short non-scientific video to describe the situation with the UN and the moratorium regarding trawling. Unfortunately, the video targets Canada as a major flaw in the plan in a sense that the country was trying to block the moratorium. However, in November of 2006, this was changed, says the video.

I found it interesting that Canada was targeted in such a way, because as a Canadian I had little knowledge of this subject before seeing the video.

An interesting point that I found out while searching the video, however, was that each year on the Ocean floors, an area approximately the size of the United States is trawled and destroyed. That's huge!
