Video blog follow up

These videos show the examples of what trawling the ocean floor and banks or shelves  can do to fish species. Fishermen argue this to be okay! Is it? whats your opinion? Our ocean  is huge but there are limited places to catch fish because every type of fish and climate is different.  If we wipe out what we have what are we going to do and/or use for bait in the case of the herring. Trawlers drag their nets as much as 5 miles across the ocean floor at a time basically raking the ocean floor  ripping coral and other living structure right to shreds. They catch lobster and many different types of fish everything that comes over the side of the boat dies. DMR makes laws on the amount of fish a trawler can keep and also sets time limits, to me this is absolutely wrong. they're causing  a lot of loss to the fishing industry and a massive head ache for fishermen. whats your opinion on the matter do you agree?
