Fishing is often a hazardous occupation and it is made more so by man's greed. Often a big catch is more important than taking notice of bad weather or fishermen are forced to take risks to avoid losing a job or a livelihood.
Over-fishing is depleting the oceans of fish at an ever-increasing rate despite laws, fishing rights and the efforts of organizations like Greenpeace.
The most iniquitous over-fishing method is bottom-trawling as companies try to increase their catch of marketable fish. I have chosen bottom-trawling as my theme as there are strong images attached to it.
