The harvesting machine sucks fish from the sea in huge gulps. It sucks up anything in its path. It rips and shreds bigger fish into little pieces. Silently under the waves, it roars insatiably, insanely. Nets inflict the worst destruction.
Nets entangle everything they encounter, enveloping and killing billions of sea creatures.
Driftnets, forty miles wide furl out across the flowing silent world to kill all they touch. Half to two thirds of the dead and dying animals are tossed back into the sea. Lost nets, called ghost nets wander on, killing without purpose. Driven by profit, the fishing industry wages war on all animals it sees as competitors. Albatross and pelicans are shot on sight.
