It took less than a minute of satellite time to catch illegal fishing vessels

Good work. We'll never use resources sustainably if we can't properly account their usage.

> Plus, unregulated fishing boats often use incredibly dangerous equipment to fish, like trawlers. Dolphins, turtles, and seals get caught up in these nets along with the target species and are ultimately killed and thrown away. "It’s not like a guy with a rod and reel," Hammerschlag said. "Trawls are basically underwater bulldozers. When they take up shrimp or crabs, they pretty much bulldoze bottom of ocean and pull up everything. That creates an uninhabitable area for other organisms. You’re kind of putting salt in the fields, and it takes hundreds or thousands of years to grow things there again."

I'm curious why they focus on these illegal fishers being trawlers as if that's something unusual. Trawlers are very common in legal fishing, including in western countries. But I don't see much focus on curtailing their use there. Are they as bad as the article makes them out, or are these trawlers somehow especially bad?

Title seems to be wrong. Article discusses fishing, not shipping.
