Bottom trawling flattens seafloor

So, in addition to sterilizing the body of the ocean with drift nets, we are sterilizing the bottom as well. I wonder how much longer before all fishing crashes? Of course, my interest in aquaponics could result in the elimination of any of this sort of activity, but given the pace of my research, it sometimes seems more likely the famine times will be upon us first.
