Resented by fisherman because that's often all they catch. Dogfish will swim to the surface if they smell chum and even come out of the water to grab baited hooks being reeled in.

The camera had a tilt. Greatest bottom video ever in Canada and proves trawling is killing the oceans not seals :)

The only officially ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 18 Mar 08, 12:43:15 The only officially recognized marine problem in Canada is wild seals. Voters have a choice of killing 2 or 3 or 400,000 seals to bring back the great cod stocks or vote Green for the scientific ecosystem approach that we all reject. Too bad everything has to die :(
You are probably ... By: Fatpandas. on 18 Mar 08, 00:30:48 You are probably not allowed to keep that non target catch, and I would think that lobster fishermen dont want you catching their target catch.
Trawls and dredges DO impact the benthic community a great deal. It is effectively changing the habitat. Im sure all those skates, Cod and flounder you catch are not allowed to be kept and they are suffering from over exploitation. especially the Cod.
we have managed ... By: ozhp. on 17 Mar 08, 02:26:41 we have managed areas we can fish and areas we cant fish for spawning reasons for fish and lobsters as well as sea turtles so why do dumb asses like yourself think we go and crush and kill everything on the ocean bed? the areas we fish are filled with rocks and sand. what we catch we keep for instance we haul a lobster we eat that lobster we dont waist granted some may be crushed in the prosses but your telling me we should be imprisioned for the destruction of the sea bed?

Trawling technology ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 09 Mar 08, 18:18:17 Trawling technology or modern thinking is shunned in Canada in favour of traditional thinking as dictated in The Bible. I'm sure you mean well as do I but the Gospel only dictates social affairs in rural Canada so only God can help our oceans return :(

ROUGHLY 25% OF THE WORLDS MARINE RESOURCES CAUGHT ARE BYCATCH WITH TRAWLERS BY FAR RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF IT. HOWEVER, IT IS OFTEN THE GOVERNMENTS ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES THAT INSTIGATE OVERFISHING. FISHERY MGT NEEDS TO CONDUCTED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS
I would ask you to ... By: ShannarasHeir. on 21 Jul 07, 01:15:26 I would ask you to please reserch things before you pretend to understand what you are talking about this is clearly over your head
A lot of lobster ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 21 Jul 07, 00:48:39 A lot of lobster fishermen are just a big of criminals aa you are I'll admit that :) You trawlers kill millions and billions of lobster larvae and tiny lobster plus killing the cod nursery areas. Lobstermen then put the young cod on the spindle so there is a lot of corruption to share. Too bad seals are to blame in the meantime.
Where is the video ... By: ShannarasHeir. on 20 Jul 07, 21:57:41 Where is the video of the 2650 lobster traps that were caught just inside of German bank by scallop dragger's (lobster habitat destroyers) during the middle of the summer which is a closed time and also the most vulnerable time for a lobster? Which is a well known fact, especially known by the scallop dragger fishermen that lost 7 rakes because of the illegal lobster gear.
lol so your bright ... By: ShannarasHeir. on 20 Jul 07, 21:36:54 lol so your bright so i assume the only reason the province allows you to make these videos is because you're IQ is much below the limit and you were declared mental
You are a scalloper ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 03 Jul 07, 00:33:05 You are a scalloper and you are calling me an idiot? All trawling should be banned as a social crime and the politicians and DFO officials that allow it should be imprisoned until its stopped forever.

DFO approved fishing gear but a lobster and cod nursery habitat killer as you can see in the other videos of sea bottom not trawled yet!! Please never eat trawled scallops or any fishstick to help out the marine environment. Thanks you for caring ;)
wow, you would ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 04 Apr 07, 13:16:44 wow, you would actually murder someone that tries to expose the gear that destroys fish habitat? Your threats of murder really exposes your evil personality. Would your scallops taste better with human blood sauce Killer?

So because ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 09 Mar 07, 14:53:52 So because monofilament ghostnets are deadly and inhumane it justifies your ocean habitat destruction? Industrial seining and our chronic pollution must liberate you too. 97% of Nova Scotians blame seals so you are free from all guilt. I used to shoot birds and sharks but I'm a conservationist now. Fish safely.
i have never read ... By: tweed11. on 08 Mar 07, 17:13:30 i have never read such a ridiculous statement in my life. you obviously are highly educated. i am not concerned in your opinion or anyone else. i will continue making my living as a scalloper with a guilt free conscience. your answer for whale entanglement is just as expected.
Your criminal ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 08 Mar 07, 14:24:27 Your criminal bottom dragging will someday be compared to the Native holocausts, slavery and wiping out the buffalo. If almost nobody cares about what you do why are you so concerned? You can just repent when the times comes to be free of the terrible guilt you now suffer from. I do really dry about what you do.
the world needs all ... By: tweed11. on 07 Mar 07, 21:12:01 the world needs all sorts of people to go around,that includes cry babies and scallop draggers.you should join greenpeace, good luck in saving our planet. how many whales have your longlines, trawls, and gillnets entangled and killed?
At least I will ... By: LOBSPERT. on 07 Mar 07, 19:23:42 At least I will never ever eat a dragged scallop out of respect for all the displaced good people and the ocean habitat that you needlessly kill. You and the people that support your evil fishery is a disgrace to civilized humanity. Someday all the world will know about how great of a world you draggers destroyed and how you got away with it by an uncaring public by blaming seals. Your conscience must be eating you up inside tweed?
say what you want ... By: tweed11. on 07 Mar 07, 00:23:52 say what you want about dragging scallop,but i recall southshore lobstering increased drasticly after digby inshore draggers arrived in SFA 29. i am a proud skipper of a scallop dragger and i regret to inform you that myself and 100 other inshore draggers will be bringing freshly dragged scallops to market for years to come . P. S get over it, after all, ain't life a "DRAG"?
The scallop ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 01 Mar 07, 16:55:44 The scallop dragging destoys many handline, longline, lobster, fishplant and associated jobs here in Nova Scotia. I'm proud of my work in trying to ban all dragging and I do it for no money thanks. I regret that you feel so guilty about how many people you put out of work and what about the guilt of the people that eat dragged scallops?? Derek
why dont you let ... By: MBillings1391. on 01 Mar 07, 00:51:20 why dont you let people do their jobs and what they love? scalloping is a job that many peole have, and it apears that YOU dont understand the hard work that goes into it. There are MANY laws and regulations behind it to preserve the ocean floor. Im sure that there are many people out there that think your "job" is worthless. There must be something more productive you could do other than complain about other peoples lives and jobs.
Canadian Fish Minister trawls the richest lobster fishing area in the world in Nova Scotia costing local fishermen over $80,000,000 at the wharf for $2m worth of scallops. Seafood consumers please be aware that bad choices are really really bad for future product too. Notice the brains exposed.
I don't understand ... By: UkFisherman81lb. on 16 Sep 08, 10:15:45 I don't understand if the scollop trawlers does that then why did the lobsters not get picked up? also did all them lobster's died or were they dead i never eat them just wondering cos if i went to a restaurant and saw a lobby like that i would think eww it's ill or infected if you see my point? i'm from the UK so we don't have the amazing species you guys have

You are a sick criminal and you should go back where you come from and hide in disgrace and get some serious help!!!
give me a break! do ... By: tweed11. on 04 Jul 08, 00:21:14 give me a break! do you really believe that 4000 lbs of dragging steel would make tiny little scabs on your lobsters. stop blaming everyone else for your depleting industry, inshore scallop fishermen are always at the bottom of the shit pole and are tired of being scape goats for every problem in every fishery.
You could say ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 16 Jun 08, 12:16:43 You could say fishermen are putting ourselves out of business by electing the same old bad people over and over. We are defeating ourselves in Atlantic Canada with apathy and greed. We get what we want here unfortunately :(
With the price of ... By: fundybouy. on 15 Jun 08, 13:41:03 With the price of fuel it is hard enough to make a living without having to deal with that shit. Its like the feds are out to put the independent fisherman down here in the maritime s out of business.
Turns out trawling ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 01 Jun 08, 14:49:36 Turns out trawling and dredging is foreign petroleum development that we have to pay for but have to buy back the oil for our own consumption. It's a mad, mad, mad, corrupt and destructive world we live in and it's hard for us activists to point out all the crimes.

This looks to be a major problem and i will definitely look further into it, if no one does anything then things are going to stay the same.
Thanks for the ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 13 Mar 08, 16:23:23 Thanks for the wonderful comment and I personally believe that Canada is trawling the ocean dead in favour of developing the grounds for oil/gas to give to the US petroleum barons :( Too bad the ocean has to die.
That is a total ... By: ruadhangm. on 13 Mar 08, 14:20:26 That is a total disgrace, i feel so bad about the loss of your industry as well as the destruction of habitats that the canadian government is allowing to happen, its not as if there is no other way of harvesting scallops!
I consider trawling ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 30 Jan 08, 14:39:30 I consider trawling socio-economic and environmental terrorism that has destroyed 100,000s of jobs in eastern Canada and has forever adversely changed our weather to be more violent. I recorded the local lobster crimes for you in this vid. Thanks for caring.
That's terrible man ... By: CanaportDiver. on 29 Jan 08, 22:07:21 That's terrible man, dragging is a very unefficient and destructive way to harvest scallops. It would be the equivalent of cutting all the trees in the forest down to find all the deer. I've heard terrible stories from diver friends about effects of dragging the bottom and the total destruction it leaves behind.
If we used ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 29 Dec 07, 14:55:45 If we used underwater vehicles we wouldn't need to destroy our $750m lobster industry, our $500m cod industry, our $200m halibut industry...Can you see the big picture?Our fishing grounds are also oil fields so all must be destroyed to get the oil to the States you see.
we just changed ... By: dogboy2516. on 28 Dec 07, 06:01:16 we just changed government so unions are back and seafood industry strikes are probably the only way to make the government listen to this kind of message. It'd also flush out a lot of black market traders which we can do without. It costs heaps for a licence so it's not fair when someone breaks the rules for their own gains at the expense of the environment. But I like eating scallops so i won't argue so long as they play by the rules i guess.
Yeah. I suppose ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 28 Dec 07, 01:12:09 Yeah. I suppose our present fisheries minister will retire to a job as a petroleum executive in charge of drilling our former lobster grounds. What is so weird is that we would re-elect these same people again and...
I get the same ... By: dogboy2516. on 27 Dec 07, 06:29:46 I get the same thing here in Australia. Scallop trawlers can smash up the spanner crabs I go to catch, pretty much same result... ..smashed crabs!
Trawlers are killing the ocean and must be prevented from killing all life in Canada's oceans and those that fish environmentally friendly gears. Eat hook and line caught fish and nova Scotia lobster.

A trawler person is a terrorist to a hard working non-trawler fisherman when their jobs are destroyed by habitat destruction. I pray that all trawler people and politicians move back to Afganistan where they are more welcome and accepted :)

Canada is trawling the ocean dead by dragging the ancient sea bottom relentlessly year round until the coral habitats, fish nurseries and underwater seamounts are gone. Trawling is one of the most destructive industrial activites that man has ever committed on the generous environment. Never eat fishsticks, scallops or anything trawled please.
So true. We are ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 08 Nov 08, 15:50:56 So true. We are raping the ocean dead and blaming seals or the climate but we all know the people that are commintting these horrendous crimes. Government trawlers are the real global terrorists!!
Most commercial ... By: piperSeminole. on 07 Nov 08, 21:35:51 Most commercial fishermen will lie to the gills to justify there jobs. You don't have to be a scientist to determine what they are doing. With modern fishing gear you can easily take more then the ocean can give. Greed is the driving force. I can spend thousands of dollars a season sport fishing, diving for lobsters and scallops and almost always come up short because the commercial folks are raping the ocean.
Yes. Humanitarians ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 04 Nov 08, 13:39:12 Yes. Humanitarians are really really dumb. You are all humans should try to be and if not they should kill themselves like you instruct. You are God (or Lucifer)on this miserable planet created all just for you.
HAHAHA!! I sure am ... By: albinio157. on 03 Nov 08, 14:53:36 HAHAHA!! I sure am Terrance. I've raped the sea floor for a good 8 years I guess. I love the way environmentalists think. It's not much and it's about the level of an 8th grader. If you write back now, make sure to proof read and spell check your writings. If you want to protest about something, make sure you know even the slightest information to back your thesis. I'm extremely knowledgable when it comes to the sea so watch your mouth, cause you make activists look dumber and dumber every day.
Unless you are a ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 03 Nov 08, 13:33:59 Unless you are a complete metally handicapped new born child you may not believe one of us. One of us is an ocean terrorist and the other wants to stop these hiden hidious crimes. Your a criminal albino!!
Unless you really ... By: albinio157. on 31 Oct 08, 20:48:53 Unless you really know what takes place on the ocean floor or have been on a research or fishing vessel, your time advocating lies and deception are useless anywhere. Bottom fishing is done on soft, sandy sea beds, not coral. If we were to tow a $150,000 codend and net over a jagged, razor sharp bottom, such as coral, well...you do the math.

Adolf Hilter wasn't as bad as Canadian and US politicians that are needlessly killing all life in the sea and stealing the people's money while doing it. Too bad the world just don't care anymore trawler/Hitler wannabes.

By: COHPSCANADA. on 02 Jul 08, 12:45:54 To get your quotas you are criminally killing sponges, corals, skates, lings, snails, hydroids, hydrozoids, bryzoans, algea, kelp, seaweed, eggs, baby fish, rock formations, fish borrows, seajellies, sharks, crabs, lobsters, etc, etc, You and the people that support your trawling are terrorists to me. Get a life!!
you really need to ... By: tripletrawler. on 01 Jul 08, 13:39:16 you really need to do some research about bottom trawling,for instance, we have quotas so there is no over fishing,we also carry fisheries observers to ensure that strict rules are followed,we also have a separation grid in our trawls to allow untargeted species to escape,and we only have one coral area in our fishing area in which we DO NOT fish in.So how about answering my Georges Bank question,thats what i thought another asshole talking shit,about something he knows nothing about

By: guitarmanseaner. on 01 Feb 08, 20:38:41 th media actually around here is our worst enemy. everytime somethin happens such as a turtle coaght in poly fishing line its our fault. im not trying to change opinions. just glad to have a oppurtunity with ym vacation to defend fisherman who cant defend them selvs. i agree with you that in some places over fishing has really hurt the balance of things. please just know how ever that down here we do everything we can to feed our famillies and conserv our catch for future generations to enjoy.

I try to get people ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 17 Nov 08, 13:41:35 I try to get people to vote Green here instead of for one of the conservative parties but it's hard with the media being so conservative here.

Why do you think ... By: Retrieverman1. on 17 Nov 08, 04:32:01 Why do you think that the Conservatives will win that many elections? I once thought in my own country (USA) that the Republicans (which are like your Conservatives on steroids) would hold power forever. Maybe Harper will invade a country he knows nothing about, let a city be destroyed in a natural disaster, and then let the corporate interests plunder the economy. As soon as our plutocrats did that, it was over for them. I now can vote Green again.

These ignorants always put the blame on the defenseless animals. Murderers!!

Is that really all the ammo you have COHPSCANADA? Unfounded personal attacks don't really make much of an argument, I am afraid. They do illustrate my point nicely though: Some anti-sealers avoid facts, and use derision to bully anyone who has a valid point they don't like. Its the weakest argument going, dupe.

You can help put down the criminals that harass our countrymen at work.
Canadians: write to your officials and tell them you are well aware that harp seals are not endangered, and thank them for conducting the harvest in a responsible manner; leading to the trebling of its population. Which embarrasses anti-sealers.

The Canadian government is punishing the environmentally friendly and more humane swordfish harpoon fishery in favour of the swordfish longline fishery in Nova Scotia, Canada. Always insist on consuming harpoon caught swordfish to do your part in swordfish and marine conservation. Thanks
Captain Paul Watson joins Mike Duffy and Hon Loyola Hearn to debate Canada's commercial baby seal massacre but the Minster skins out. No reason was given but I believe that the Minister chickened out proving himself a major wimp and mammouth bully.

They can't imagine that people might eat something that doesn't come from the supermarket. Watson has no right to interfere with something legal such as the seal hunt. Not only that, it isn't a "baby" seal hunt. Babies seals haven't been hunted in years. I know many people who work within the fisheries and it isn't done anymore. I wouldn't believe this Spin Doctor about anything.

Well, may I ask the same from you. B/c it is apparent that you don't.
"They will die anyway". So humans do. We don't own them. The trouble here is, they are being slaughtered in large scale for sports and greed, not for survival. Second, the ecosystem will be damaged largely if seals disappear, including the native ppl who dwell in the north. We do not survive in order to die as victims but to live as companions.

Thank christ the latest polls show at least 75% of Canadians are against the hunt. And rightly so, it is after all their tax dollars being wasted keeping the sealers on a virtual welfare handout and in return trashing the countries international reputation.

It simply shows the government has learned nothing from the past in slaughtering thousands of wolves in the barren land. It is corporate greed behind it and some people of the government are breeding this destructive human behavior.

The Canadian government is incompetent in looking after their marine life so we need the SSCS to do it. The government blames the seals for the decrease of fish populations, which is utter BS.
Seals have been around for god knows how long and never have there been fish population problems until Canada started their intensive fishery program. You don't need to be a genius to see who's causing what.

I had to admit I had a good LOL at the Canadian Gov saying they had to act before they killed more people on the ice. I agree, if the Canadian Coast Guard can't operate without killing people it should be restricted to port until it gets some skills!

Can do. What if I ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 24 Jan 08, 19:06:51 Can do. What if I did see the doors come back polished or what if I saw a violation? Trawler people here in Canada aren't exactly calm when it comes to wildlife activists I should remind you beforehand. Thanks
right on, we can ... By: guitarmanseaner. on 22 Jan 08, 21:45:02 right on, we can definently set somethin up for next year. i would love the oppurtunity just to show how shrimp trawlers in the southeast are quite different from those big fish trawlers of the north and overseas.start doing research on cape canaveral florida. as that is our port of call. i hope your up for it.:)
Yes. I'm willing to ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 22 Jan 08, 18:17:46 Yes. I'm willing to take my camera out on your trawler to prove you right and me wrong. I take no pleasure calling your family criminals or eco-terrorists so my trip as an honest observer will set the record right once and for all. Please send details asap :)

Trawling both ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 19 Jan 08, 00:05:27 Trawling both foreign and domestic is the most destructive human industrial activity ever so please never eat trawled seafood if you care about fish, seabirds, turtles, whales, sharks, lobsters etc etc ...
as a matter of fact ... By: guitarmanseaner. on 18 Jan 08, 16:14:33 as a matter of fact you might as well just not eat sea food cause the alternative is un healhty bad tasting farm raised crap. like i said the video...foreign trawlers.
not true. trawlers ... By: guitarmanseaner. on 18 Jan 08, 16:12:05 not true. trawlers can not work over these coral as it would damage our equipment.maybe the case is such over seas but the united states trawling is very heavily regulated and monitored. like i said. no factual basis for any of these points. buy american trawled food. not chinese or japanese or vietnamese, or thai. those are you killers its not fair the american shrimpers get put under the same category.
Never eat trawled ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 18 Jan 08, 00:45:52 Never eat trawled seafood please.Maybe your Special so please understand that our ancient and precious coral habitats have almost been wiped out all over the world by the evil trawlers. Trawlers are the most destructive human industrial activity ever and must be banned now!!!!!
we cant drag coral! ... By: guitarmanseaner. on 18 Jan 08, 00:06:23 we cant drag coral!!!!!!!!!! it would tear up our nets you idiots!!!!!!!!
A herring gull kill at South Side, Nova Scotia, clearly shows the negative effects of processing herring roe for sushi and other nasty products. Notice the skeletons of other gulls killed in past gull kills. Please never eat herring roe or fishsticks to help save herring gulls and other marine life. Help COHPS help our ocean inhabitants.

If it were not for us foul human species the herring gull would not be carrying so many diseases. Its OUR rubbish, our waste........ the crap us humans leave around that attracts them to our homes in the first place.
CULL the humans would be a better idea! WE are the parasites of this planet!!

The only good gull ... By: jbbatchelor. on 16 Apr 08, 17:34:19 The only good gull is a dead one! There should be laws to prevent owners of properties from allowing gulls to nest.
The pollution is unbelievable both in noise and in their mess and nests etc. Bottulism, e-coli, salmonella, lice, fleas and tics. They belong in the cliffs, NOT on domestic properties and its about time they were culled and made to go back to their natural habitat!!
I had the same ... By: catherinetodd. on 16 Feb 08, 07:50:50 I had the same experience being attacked by a group of gulls after I ran out of food for them. But then I made them all line up and wait their turn and then they began to behave. Very intelligent birds with a "mob mentality" just like people in many ways.
And you are a Death ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 21 Aug 07, 00:55:13 And you are a Death Hawk I presume :)
They are getting ... By: Foldegrep. on 13 Jun 07, 15:29:10 They are getting more and more, and I am afraid someday they will be billions, just because they don't die and nobody attacks them. It's good these birds to be killed I think, but it's really hard. Once a friend of mine tried to save fallen baby Herring Gull, and then all the Herring Gulls in the neighourhood attacked him. they are bad bad bad and they are billions !
I hate Herring ... By: Foldegrep. on 13 Jun 07, 15:28:40 I hate Herring Gulls, this is the most horrible bird ever, nobody eat this bird, and they got baby birds in every roof in here, and they are quacking 24/7 I can't sleep at night. They are stealing food from people's balcony and even from their own hands while eating sandwiches. Cats and dogs are afraid of them, they eat everything, and they love trash meal, every morning all the trash baskets are upside down, and the street is full of trash because of them.
Thank you for the ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 23 May 07, 00:56:58 Thank you for the comment. Seabirds are still being mercilessly slaughtered here in eastern Canada while thousands are paid to protect them. If any gov't official actually done their job the people wouldn't finance the conservative politicians. People shoot birds to let them rot near my home year round. Too bad we are so mindlessly cruel and absolutely corrupt to nature here in Canada.

Yep, and all the respective coast guards are charged with the care of all these places mentioned, no vigilantes req'd. Observers? Whistleblowers? Fine. Educate yours and our faces off. But, while you do it, try respecting our laws rather than riding the ragged edge of their letter. Criminals endangering or harassing our citizens, destroying property? No thanks. We don't want any more; trying to cut down.
Yes. We still have ... By: COHPSCANADA. on 07 May 08, 11:00:00 Yes. We still have a ton of criminal activity on the East Coast like trawling, ocean dumping, siesmic blasting, seining, ghostnetting, fish dumping and intollerable by-catch crimes to stop. Thanks crew.

This idiot knows ... By: RJAY2000. on 22 Apr 08, 01:49:52 This idiot knows very well it was Paul Watson who came to the grand banks with the very same ship to chase away foreign trawlers that would sit just outside canadain waters and over fish cod. Paul Watson warned DFO years before the collapse of cod fishery what was happening and they told me he was crazy.
They dont call them newfies for nothing.

By: COHPSCANADA. on 16 Mar 08, 17:46:25
I stand corrected. Some say drag, some say trawl but we don't use the phrase dredge around here to descibe the catasphrophe. Nuke would be a good word too.
By: GreenFalc0n. on 16 Mar 08, 04:42:42
yeah,the correct term is "Dredging"... you dont "trawl" for scallops..
By: COHPSCANADA. on 09 Mar 08, 18:10:38
Never eat trawled scallops to save ocean creatures. Do you have trawling in NZ?
