They kicked off techniques that later scientists have used to discover more about Earth’s insides and past. Drilling and dredging up samples from the ocean floor has since brought insight into Earth’s climate millions of years ago and shaped our knowledge of how tectonic plates sculpt the landscape over time, among many other discoveries.
shall we say. In one case-- and I think this is kind of typical-- we knew that a particular boat was going out and scallop dredging at night, during the winter, when all the regulators' vessels were all tucked up and they were watching the television.
And it's also having a real impact on the environment. I'm sure many of you know the statistics from dredging . So I tried to think about are there sustainable ways to eat fish?
But all I could see-- those beautiful tree-like extended tentacles were not extended. One of them, dredging , and because it's not a coral reef habitat, we could actually drag this for short distances on the bottom, collect various things-- you never
He was called Dave Sales. And Dave campaigned for nearly 25 years to protect Lyme Bay from scallop dredging , which was basically turning the rocky reefs, which harbored all these sunset corals and sea fans and all sorts of stuff that's pretty remarkable in English
And we will be launching that list of 50 reefs later this year. for no-trawl fishing, no dredging so that it protects the bottom to protect those organisms.
And so we were really learning from them. We do it with a couple of barges, and a digger that's normally dredging the Solent, and a bucket of bleach, and a white Ford Transit. In the East Coast of the United States, they do oyster restoration with the Navy.
But also what we hope is that now some of the partially but protected but very large areas, like the Dogger Bank, which is the Atlantis of the North Sea-- that's a huge area which the British government has protected from trawling and scallop dredging -- we think that you will begin to see overspill effects there.
Then we'll bring it back out, and we'll flour it again. Now, how is that different to, say, buttermilk dredging ? I guess there's cream-fried chicken.
It's, there, there was actually a little bit of stress about whether or not they were gonna get it open in time, and they did in August of 1934. The breakwater, unfortunately, was not, still not very well built. The top rock was too heavy and it kept falling off. Sand would accumulate behind the breakwater to the point where they had to keep dredging it, so the, the breakwater and the yacht harbor became a very big financial burden on the city, and by the late 1970s it was sparsely populated, and in 1983, storms did away with
And butter poaching and better poaching methods. Like not boiling fish. up. Let's just talk about shrimp for instance, because people understand shrimp. Shrimp dredging , you throw these big nets, and you drag them around using sonar. "Well, there seems to be more in this area,
And there's something for everyone, in terms of the myriad topics that we cover. Because there's so many issues in the ocean that need to be talked about, not only climate change, sea level rising, overfishing, mining, drilling, sand dredging , marine wildlife. But we also show films that are how we engage with the ocean, and appreciate it, and have fun with it, from surfing,
