Well I hate to do this but it would seem Paul Watson is doing some good in his own Pirate kinda way. Here is the $ea $hepard putting net rippers on the Canadian East coast Continental shelf to destroy.

Personally If I were to do this which wouldn't be my first choice because of the legal implications and the short term effectiveness wouldn't be half as effective as education and a change in the guidelines for fishing.

Gill nets can be as wastefull in that they become lost and are in essence land mines for fish species. Even seine nets which capture everything and are used to capture capelin if used indiscriminately can be very destructive to the species's if not to the sea bottom, breeding and feeding enviroment.

That and the fact that the net rippers he is deploying will be all but useless IMHO. Personally I would have used something like this example of a Caltrop seen in this picture, or shards of glass anything to rip nets or foul efforts to drag the bottom clean. anything to stop the creation of The largest wettest desert in the world the Grand Banks, all in the name of profit for greedy shareholders.
