ling things in hours that took a few thousand years to grow. The corals are home to many fish. This is the main reason why they are trawled in the first place. There are many fishermen who avoid the coral reefs because of the damage caused to their nets. There has also been reports of trawlermen who deliberately destroy the coral reefs so no damage is caused to their nets. This is supposedly done by dragging chains across the ocean floor. There is evidence that supports this because the damage that has been discovered is too much to have possibly been done by a net. A lot of this will hopefully be taken care of by some upcoming laws. These would limit fishing on coral reef while still keeping the fishing industry in mind.
