The Seabed: out of sight, out of mind?
How can we protect our sea beds from environmental damage? Tom Heap and Helen Czerski ask the difficult questions.
Over the centuries, bottom-trawling activities have transformed our coastal seas both ecologically and physically, mostly for the worse. As the habitat has declined, so has the success of fisheries. Is it time we said goodbye to bottom trawling? Or can we manage our coastal seas more effectively to protect nature and provide seafood and jobs?
Tom Heap and Helen Czerski discuss the issues with a panel of experts.
