Trawler fishing is the worst. I always remember my horror when off the coast of Brighton we dropped down for a scallop drift dive. We found the seabed was a ploughed field, nothing was left - no rocks, no gullies, no life - anywhere. I felt truly cold with horror. It was heartbreaking 💔

@@sailingelectricgitana1286 Go easy on the Sardines caught anywhere within easy steaming distance of the Spanish and French coastlines. I read a very comprehensive survey report a couple of years ago that inescapably concluded that they’re being heavily overfished and stocks have already approached population crash point, in much the same way that North Sea Herring, Cod and Ling stocks catastrophically crashed a few decades ago. I’m not sure what’s going on with them elsewhere in the world but I’d be interested to know, if by any chance anyone else is up on the subject?

[@tomriley5790]

Yeah scollop dredging is like the apocalypse - you can imagine deep see bottom trawling is probably the same but we never get to see it. It also throws an awful lot of silt into the water which causes lots of problems for species that need clearer waterflow (jewel anaenomes are one for example).

[@tomriley5790]

@@sailingelectricgitana1286 Famed scallops are fine - they're basically just grown in baskets, there's also diver caught scallops (or you can do it yourself it's quite fun chasing escaping comedy false teeth:-)) but farmed fish are not the answer - they're fed fish so farming fish actually ends up being a net drop in fish numbers similarly chemicals are used to prevent parasites (small crabs on salmon) which make them look unsightly. My uncle fished for Crabs off the West Coast of Scotland one of the fishfarms dropped a barrel of their pesticide into the Loch by accident and killed all the crabs.

I don't even live on the water, but just from going on vacation to Hawaii the first time about 15 years ago to now... the difference in the coral and fish life is shocking. The first time I went there were fish EVERYWHERE. Schools so thick you couldn't see through them. Now a lot of places look pretty barren with noticeably less vibrant coral, and when I find schools it's exciting. It's still very beautiful and one of my favorite places, but sad to see the change.

I started watched your channel years ago because I had always dreamed of getting a sailboat. The other reason was to reduce some stress of work while traveling two hours a day on the commuter train to and from work. I'm a lawyer in Chicago but live in a distant suburb. I continued watching because you guys seemed so happy and seeing the beautiful scenery made me happy. I stopped watching just after you had Lenny. I'm not sure exactly why, maybe it was the pandemic and the fact that I didn't travel to work for a bit. Nevertheless, I returned to your channel today. I was blown away by how big Lenny is now. I last saw him as a new baby. I'm 53 years old. When you get older, time passes by in an odd way. A considerable amount of time can pass, but it feels like a short period of time. Consequently, in my head, it was as if I stopped watching your channel a few months ago, so imagine my shock to see Lenny talking! And, you have another child! How awesome. Well, suffice it to say, I came back to your channel with the right video. I'm on my way home on the commuter train and I can just feel the stress melt away as I watch how happy you both are as parents and the wonderful views you provided for us. P.S. your video skills were great before, but, boy, have you taken it to the next level. Well done. I have four children ages 30, 23, 20 and 16. Time flies by so enjoy every minute you can.

I love the edit for Riley’s fishing game!!! That was so cool.

Your Cinematic Videography is Amazing... On the fly and really engages the Audience..... Nice Work

[@davesmith7906]

This was a great episode! Your “movie making skills” have really hit new heights, the trollers have been raping the sea's for decades and decades. Many people that aren't connected to the waters and seas and the in incredible life within, thus they simply aren't aware of all the damage that’s been done. Pls keep bringing up.

Trawlers. Drag netters. Tolling is longline fishing with bait. Trawlers and seiners take things indiscriminately, although longline trollers will have bycatch as well. Seabirds that dive for the bait.

Best episode by a nautical mile!

It's just gut wrenching to see what we've done. The future isn't good if we don't put a total halt to the business as usual.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching you all as you daily the world. The boys are beautiful, healthy and getting an education that many kids will never get. Thank you for putting your videos out because as I've said before, I live vicariously through you. Much love, stay safe!

Wow, what a masterful piece of art, that also happens to be your life. Cheers

SLV to-do list: Keep babies in the boat Workout Keep boat in water and off land Hunt Clean (fish and boat) Smoke/prepare fish Cook Feed all humans in the boat Educate the public on ocean problems This is an excellent to-do list and one that I feel lots of people could benefit from. No frills, just important basics for life.

Please, who is creating the animations….they are funny and clever every time, as was the spear fishing game! Excellent visuals, words and music. David laughing is a joy. Pleased Sarah is still crew. The coral reefs halved in my lifetime…62 years. And I don’t feel like I’ve lived that long. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

The edits on this channel are unbelievably excellent. My favorite are the cartoon parts. Rad vid as always

[@annag.40]

What a creative and entertaining production. I love to see the development of the videos. And the nature is breathtaking. Thanks for taking us with you to these beautiful places.

[@kimberlystevens5572]

My most favourite episode yet. This was just perfection. Could watch you guys all day.

[@thomasolsen7108]

WOW! the quality of your videos are groundbraking!

[@mach748]

Editing and animation were Top Notch

[@butchg3990]

I am in AWWWW! of your deep diving. Sch a great feeling to be under water for that length of time. I saw an episode on 60 Minutes (USversion) last night of extreme divers. Truly crazy depths and time. I enjoy your adventures!

Totally and thanks for talking about how the oceans have changed. I grew up in the Marshall Islands in the '90s and the difference in the way the oceans look when scuba and snorkeling is every year more and more astonishing and heartbreaking.
