Bottom Trawling's Like Clear Cutting

"It [bottom trawling] basically is taking a net and raking it on the bottom [of the ocean floor], and anything that sticks up from the bottom gets bulldozed over. It is similar to forest clear-cutting," - quote by Chris Krenz, Oceana's arctic project manager; quote appeared in this Beaufort Gazette article.
