Halt Deep-Sea Bottom Trawling
- "A statement released simultaneously at a meeting of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the Seattle, Washington, conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, urged a halt to deep-sea bottom trawling. Altogether, 1,136 scientists from 69 countries testified to the need for global protection of the coldwater coral forests recently discovered along places such as Japan, Alaska, Sweden, and Mauritania." excerpt from the ENN article at http://www.enn.com/news/2004-03-11/s_13264.asp
