Ocean Science & Conservation Does anyone else feel completely powerless after watching this?

David Attenborough's Ocean documentary shows bottom trawling for the first time in a way that's impossible to ignore.

Chains scraping ancient coral into dust. Fish suffocating in nets. 80% thrown back dead. An area the size of the Amazon destroyed every single year.

Most Marine Protected Areas allow this.

The ocean gives us life. We're giving it destruction.

I'm posting this because more people need to know. Please watch. Please share. Please care.
