The film "Ocean With David Attenborough" showcases the destruction of the seabed due to bottom trawling as part of a campaign for marine conservation. The footage vividly captures the harmful methods used to catch fish, with nets dragged across the ocean floor causing significant habitat damage. Sir David stresses that this practice is widespread, and many marine species are indiscriminately caught and discarded. The film urges a ban on such fishing practices in protected areas to preserve marine life, promote ecosystem recovery, and combat climate change, emphasizing collective action's importance.
"Very few places are safe from bottom trawling," Sir David can be heard saying that very few places are safe from the damaging fishing method, which occurs daily across vast swathes of the world's seabeds.
"It's hard to imagine a more wasteful way to catch fish," he notes highlighting how trawlers, often on the hunt for a single species, discard almost everything they catch.
