Deep Sea Coral
Sample of fragile deep-sea coral retrieved from the nets of a Lithuanian bottom trawler the ANUVA in the North Atlantic. Bottom-trawling boats, the majority from EU countries, drag fishing gear weighing several tonnes across the seabed, destroying marine wildlife and devastating life on underwater mountains - or 'seamounts'. Greenpeace is demanding a UN moratorium on bottom trawling on the high seas.
