Just watched it. All depressingly familiar information, but hopefully it will make a few more people aware of what is a huge global problem. Maybe...

Have a watch on the old iplayer BBC iPlayer - Panorama: Britain's Disappearing Wildlife

Very interesting programe on how man is systematically destroying our planet.

 

Underwater shots made for grim viewing, as a sport diver, I have viewed the damage done by clam dredgers, I have no beef with folks earing a crust, however, if a dredge slammed through a town centre, skipper would be banged up for outright vandalism, dredger kills everything but the clam it goes over!!

 

It was very intertesting to view how seabed recovered after a complete fishing ban, within a year, dredged area was transformed (Clyde), creating reserves make sense, St Abbs is one good example, fishing is allowed for shellfish, creels only. Area is abundant with life, which in turn move further afield as area gets crowded, fishemen catch em, we eat them, sounds like a good deal to me:thumbup:

 

I have witnessed same with reserves created in the Med, same for certain areas of the Red Sea. It does work, just takes man to put it in place before it all disappears!!

 

Cheers.......

The message is clear, give nature room to breath, and thrive only then will nurturing nature continue to be a mutualy inclusive relationship.

 

Or we can ignore the message, and perish.

 

you reap what you sow.
