VIC:Net fishing indiscriminate on marine life
A new report's found trawler fishing is ruining slow growing marine life and damaging
Australia's oceans.
The study's found seafloor fishing and gill netting is indiscriminate in its impact
on marine life.
Less than five per cent of Australian waters are protected from fishing and mining.
NT Environment Centre director STUART BLANCH says the practice of trawling is as destructive
as the clear-felling of forests.
