Underwater Sculptures
Industrial fisheries have developed a devastating fishing method that catches everything in its path: ‘bottom trawling’. Ships drag heavy nets along the ocean floor, maximizing the extraction of life. Many of the sea creatures caught—known as bycatch—have no commercial value and are tossed back into the sea, dead or dying. In the Mediterranean, this technique doesn’t just harm marine life; it also destroys the seagrass Posidonia—a keystone species that absorbs massive amounts of CO2.
