Under the sea: cold water reef video
Here's a little-known fact: Norway hosts a majority of the world's known cold-water coral reefs. And if you've never seen what a cold-water coral reef looks like, the stunning video here is unforgettable:
As much as 30 to 50 percent of these fragile reefs are either impacted or destroyed by bottom trawling. Today about 100 EU trawlers, 50 Norwegian trawlers and 250 Russians trawlers hold fishing licences for Norwegian waters, in addition to those in the North Sea.
Join in the call to protect 40 percent of our world's oceans as marine reserves.

Once again, noting short of disgusting. What is with us, why do we do this to ourselves and authorities sit and watch this happen under their up turned noses. The human race wont be happy until the oceans and land are wiped clean.....Then what do we do

This selfish, short-sighted, profitoriented taking from the earth without thinking about the consequences... No words to discribe the anger this is setting free.
