Bottom Trawlers Trash Ocean Floor Habitat- Another One for the Ecosphere Clouseau File

An article in nature reported on research documenting adverse biosphere effects of ocean trawlers running roughshod on the seafloor. The trawling trashes whatever life habitats were sedentary and built up in support of life. Luckily at such depths the seahorse population isn't affected, although I believe they have achieved endangered species status on their own.


Other reports in the broadcast media mention that some of the biosphere population during this period of mass extinction might 'intersect' human life on Earth. Its good that those media minds are aware that their bodies might have a biological foundation too, so if there is a mass extinction going on and some malevolent force is causing it, maybe some clever scientists will discover the culprit one day, some day and legal authorities can arrest them.
