The clip of bottom-trawling fishing boats ripping up seagrass was deemed ‘too harsh’ for the public.

I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

There's an extraordinary amount of beauty in the world, and practically all of it isn't owned by anyone at all.
Have a look at something beautiful today, and remember that billionaires don't own everything, or even the important things.
